Oh wow, it's been so beautiful out! Simply gorgeous weather! I'd better hurry and get my garden in, we certainly won't be having any more frost

Ah, well, it's something rather serious, actually. Not something bad though! Or, well, I hope it isn't. Um. *tries to order her thoughts, not quite sure how to go about this* ...See, I've been making arrangements... for... for the future handling of this property. You know, since things are so unstable here, and anything could happen, um. .............I've sort of. Written you into my will. ...I thought you should be informed.
*stares for a moment, nonplussed, then leans forward, scarred brow furrowing in worry* Why- what do you mean, 'anything could happen'? What happened? And- I mean- what about your family?
Please Mal, it's nothing dramatic, I've got no plans to go anywhere, I haven't got a terminal disease or anything. God willing. But... well you may have noticed people go missing fairly frequently around here? ...Listen. I thought about this a long time. This house has a purpose that's bigger than me. If something happens to me, I need to make sure that continues. And... I did think of my family... Lou's in the will, too, sort of... in case something happens to you... I've made fairly complicated arrangements, I'll explain them to you in a bit. But the thing is... Lou's life is in Aquroya... in another dimension, no less. I need someone who's here... someone with a stake in the house, who's actually lived here. Not that I would tie you down! If you wanted to go home or something, I can adjust the will, or... if it had passed to your hands, you could pass it along, the way it was passed to me, but... I need someone I can trust to make sure this keeps going.
