Kiddo, I'm available for you any time. You've made friends here, yeah?
[He chuckled good naturedly.]
I'm doing alright, though I wish we had some fish in this place! I'd even take shellfish. [The plights of an old world trencher.] As for friends, yeah, I have a few. I'm friendly with most, but there's a couple of guys I rub elbows with a lot.
[ just with him mentioning fish, his daughter exhaled a long and dreamlike sigh. ]
Haaah, Jericho. What a man! I would do anything just to see his rotten smile as he hacks away at an eel and serves us its tail drenched in his secret special sauce. — I never found him attractive until now.
[ it's somewhat of a joke. she's not actually talking about his looks, but more so his cooking. ]
But that's great! That you've made some buddies, I mean, aaand you're doing fine. I've heard Miller is one of those chums. He's kind of one of mine too.
Agreed. He's a staple of the Lanes since it's inception. How I miss his fried frog legs.
[He let out a big sigh of his own, reminiscent of eating that food. It was vastly different when rock worms being their only large source of fresh meat.]
He is yeah. He tells me you set up a café and ran it in some town called Aldrip.
D'aww, the old man remembered! Guess his mind isn't too far gone yet, ha ha!
[ she's touched, really, especially when everyone's memories seem to be a haze or scattered like a tornado made its way through. sometimes, she thinks if it was all on purpose. ]
But yep, I had a café! You'd snag yourself a cup of joe, pet a kitten, and then you'd be set for the day.
Yeah, he told me a few things about it. What made you think to open a café of all things? I thought for certain you'd open a tinker shop.
[It sounds like a nice place, even if there was an undercurrent of unease knowing that Silco had been involved. Miller didn't say much about it, but there were inferences in the silences.]
I don't... remember, actually. [because it's unusual for her to start a coffee house business, and no matter how hard she tried to remember, she comes up empty. but then she quickly adds: ] — Oh! But I had that too! It was downstairs. I was running two shops all in one.

The thing is, Vander, I just... wanted to talk to you 'cause I.. miss you. And just wanted to know how you've been holding up. Got any friends yet?
