[Stop by huh? That means Oren was doing an independent visit on his own... What for even? Iona puts a pin on that for now since she's focusing on Lyra.]

Ah, I'm glad you get it. Oren's just rigid and wants to stick to his role. I guess that just comes with being as old as he is.

But you know, he seems nice to you... He is nice, right? Not like disregarding or being indifferent?

[This is strangely important to Iona... And if Berna knew about this, she would find it significant too.]
