Of course you have something to say! Especially as you can feel Craig's growing awfully warmer in your hands.

"Please, can uou take a look at Craig? I think he's caught a fever! Did the Dammerlicht get to him?"

The cheerful woman had just set down her cargo on a spare chair - which turned out to be an unconscious Ling, by the way - and turned to you, her face definitely losing some joy at the news.

"Is Craig the kid in your arms? Lemme take a look!"

With concern, you hand him over to the mirthful one, who took one look at him and then handed him to Yukio, the woman near the stove.

"Ah, nothing to worry about! Kid's just seen Astra a bit too long. Just needs rest, eh."

Yukio seems like she's got a second opinion, though.

"待って、もう一つある。"

"Oho, yes, Yukio! I see a fragment of Loki in him!"

Before you could ask her what she meant by that, she already swooped in and took out... something amorphous in her hand. Something that you remember seeing before, outside of Goblinton, against the Masked Men... but smaller, soggier? Is this one of Craig's spirits?

The cheerful one then looks at you inquisitively.

"...So, what were you doing out there, with a kid in tow? Isn't it dangerous to bring a kid up here?"

Somehow, this question got you a bit on edge. True, they saved you and your crew from the weather, but you don't know who they are. They could be cultists! Or they could be locals. Or could they be... both? Maybe something else?
