[Grune, Norma-- why is everyone suddenly getting kidnapped? All at once? It was an entire year before Dhaos witnessed the kidnapping of anyone he paid attention to other than himself, and then within the space of a month, there were two. It calls to mind something he heard a resident once say over the journals; he can't recall who it was (though he recalls not thinking much of the person in question), or in what context, but the message stuck in his mind:

The second year is the hardest.

...Along with several other comments about how half-year residents are more optimistic. But anyway, it certainly does appear to be proving true, in Dhaos' case.

This train of thought leads Dhaos to realize that there is one other person he cares for that appears to be missing in action. It's a long way from CH3 to House 8, so feel free to catch him on the way over! And by now it ought to go without saying that he is randomly stargazing somewhere at night.]

[...That's not the voice Dhaos usually hears calling him by that name.

Dhaos turns to look in Fenimore and Sophie's direction after hearing his... name, and he stops. ...Norma, this is all your fault. Now Sophie will be calling him that forever.]

...Hello, Sophie. Fenimore.

[It seems more appropriate to address the person trying to get his attention, but it'd be rude to ignore Fenimore.]

[Fenimore has to consciously refrain herself from laughing; he doesn't seem especially impressed with Sophie calling him that. But she can spare his dignity in that much, at least, if only because he isn't exactly the least intimidating of Grune's friends. You know, when Grune isn't around to pop that intimidation.]

Hello, Dhaos.

["What are you doing?" It appears that Sophie may have come to recognize that Little D is not inclined to volunteer information or, really, any form of conversation without prompting. Or she might just be curious.]
