Chet, and to all others who still fear the Dark,
I'll buy you a drink, cook a meal, stoke a fire, whatever you like.
I'll meet you here in the Claw. I'll put you up in my cottage.
I will take you on a spiritual journey through the far realms of this world, if I have to.
Whatever you need to understand, I will make it available to you.
Let's talk.
But in the meantime, please leave my grieving friend alone, and let these good people do the work they need to do to save our world.
