[ This is the first time Six has ever used the crystals for her own message to people and she's a little hesitant - it doesn't help that there's a wriggling ball of mabari puppy in her arms desperate to either bite at it or kiss her jaw. She can't quite decide which one it is. ]

You have my thanks in advance.

[ PRIVATE TO ADALIA ]

We need to speak.
