Bee watches them attentively, wondering - did they get too far apart? Could they all be limited like that? She wouldn't know - she's never put Simonides down, he always wants to be held.

"Gosh," she says, a little bewildered by Beth's quick recovery. "Well I'm glad everyone's okay."

"H-hi," says Simonides quietly, which surprises Bee a little - usually he doesn't seem to talk to anyone unless coaxed into it. Maybe it's just that they both feel extra comfortable around the Balladeer.
