(He) Very well - most interesting

(She) What did go on ?

(He) I'm not really sure if I can tell you about it.

(She) What do they do - if you can tell me ?

(He) The walkers walked me around the lodge. The Talkers talked to me and to the walkers as I was led around ....

(She) and the Holy men ? what of them ?
