[There's a moment of shocked silence. Of course, impossible as it is to see him, it might simply be silence. But Peregrine knows Brett well; she knows how he might respond. When he does so properly, it's in a low voice:]
She needs us now out there...
[And this time we will find her.
It would be a nice thing to be able to say. But if she's out there somewhere, still needing them, then she's been waiting for over a month now. No one has found her. This is...confusing, muddled, and most likely there's nothing real about it. It would be easier to detach, to treat it like nothing more than a story to observe. But it also feels like the closest he's come.]
Please. Please, just - tell me how to find you. I've been trying, but I don't know how. Pere -
[He never trained with Howl. He was a part of the search party that found her once, but that was only because the kids brought him along. Brett can't do much of anything - except to sense, in a vague way not much suited for a podcaster from the city, that a storm is rolling in.]
Pere, the...the weather's gonna change. Stay put tonight, make sure you've got everything you need. [He doesn't quite know why he says that. Maybe it's just the fear that she might be cold.]
