Part 207: Robin A
Eh? A slice of crowberry pie? What's this doing here?
It's for you, Kellam.
Robin! Y-you saw me!
The trick is to squint and look sideways. I've been working on it here and there. Anyway, you're always so helpful to everyone else, I wanted to return the favor.
...Thanks.
Not at all. It's the least I can do.
Gosh, you really are good to me, Robin. I know I said I don't do it for thanks, but it IS nice to hear...especially from you. ...Well, guess I'll be going now.
What in the... How did he DO that?! He just vanished!
Er, I'm right over here. Straightening up these axes.
..Oh, right. Of course I knew that. It's just that you gave this enigmatic smile, turned to the left, and then...disappeared! Almost as if you'd achieved enlightenment and transcended this mortal plane!
...That's some imagination you have.
Ha ha. Yes, well. Perhaps I've read a few too many morality plays as of late.
In any case, forget the axes for now--everyone is waiting to see you.
Me?...But why?
They all want to apologize for making such a fuss about the supposed hauntings.
...Oh, um, I don't know. That sounds like an awful lot of attention...
Sometimes, Kellam, we all have to stand up and be noticed.
All right. But if I'm feeling shy, I might have to transcend to a higher plane again.
Ah-HA! I KNEW IT!
That was a joke! A joke? ...Ha ha ha? ...Robin? Why are you backing away from me like that...?
