> "Oh, that's a good explanation...but it also means I probably missed a chance to get a look at the master. Someone named 'Molly', apparently."
> "It was a short exchange. He just asked us to surrender as a formality. I tried to get him to name a time and place but he said he's just going to come after us whenever he's ready."
> "He said he won't attack during the day, if that's worth anything."

>You haven't heard from her, which is probably a good sign that she's getting along alright.
>Checking in, she responds, "There's a lot of rooms full of plants up here, I think I'm getting close."

>It's hard not to be nervous, these sorts of things always seem to go wrong at this point. "Alright, got the cutting, I'm on my way out," says Archer. "I don't think anyone saw me, there's not many people in here, and it's pretty spacious. I'll be back out in just a couple minutes."
