Hello again, friend.

It's been quite some time, hasn't it? I'm a little surprised you haven't visited sooner, but then again maybe it's not so surprising, with so many different characters vying for your attention.

So then! Are you just here for a chat, or do you have something else in mind? Have you finally decided to send me somewhere? I won't deny it would be a little frustrating, but certainly interesting to spend time in a place... how should I put it... outside of my sphere of influence.

Ah, I see you don't have any particular plans at the moment. That's fine! I'm sure you'll figure something out eventually. In the meantime, we can just talk, if you'd like. I'd like that.

Your friend,
Art

[...well, that's different.]

At least you got that going for you.

I have other helpers too, but Suzy's the best. She's... eccentric, but eager to assist.

Sounds like good wife material.

[Just think about what you said, not!Elijah Wood, and it sounds great. It really does.]

[Oh he just bursts out laughing.]

Honestly I haven't thought about that sort of thing! I've been quite busy.

I don't think I'd mention it to her, though. She'd probably get indignant about it.
