Perhaps more heads working on the same problem will present a solution.n10/11 22:34:52.466 Shixin says: At worst, perhaps we can find a way to ward your dreams.n10/11 22:35:16.926 Aitana says: I think this is a good idea.n10/11 22:36:17.831 Shixin says: Well then, I will talk to my fellow Lore members, and see what they suggest.n10/11 22:36:31.946 Aitana nods at you.n10/11 22:36:34.570 Aitana says: Please do.n10/11 22:36:48.251 Shixin says: In that case, I must be off.n10/11 22:37:03.427 Shixin says: Many miles to travel.n10/11 22:37:09.049 Aitana waves goodbye to you.
