## Transcript

### Panel 1

* "I'm calling from a hospital lobby; I'm totally fine, don't worry, I just needed to use a free phone because I left mine at home. I was out seeing if I could find anything at all about Rigel - I was being really careful, I promise - and I met Aaina and some of her friends who're also looking for people they know; I stayed over with them last night. I'm sorry, I should've tried to get into contact with you sooner."

Betelgeuse: ...I'm glad you're okay, but I don't want you getting involved by yourself. ...You should come home now, Aderyn.

### Panel 2

Ori: ......

Betelgeuse: Leave it to the police.

Ori: the police arent doing anything.

Betelgeuse: ...You don't know that Aderyn. We'll have her back soon.... I just want you to stay out of trouble.

### Panel 3

Betelgeuse: I mean it. I don't want to lose both of you. If I had to, I'd go in for a rematch against Grimen itself for you. You know that.

Ori: hah... let's both try to stay in one piece, dad. ......seriously, i'm okay

### Panel 4

Ori: also, it's probably a bad time to invoke that name, dad. the hospital grim is kinda giving me the stink eye

Betelgeuse: Oops. Sorry!

### Panel 5

Ori: ....

* Tell him you're not willing to come back yet but also let him know that you have a lead on your sister

Betelgeuse: ...Sorry about that, Ms. Erinyes.

### Panel 6

Ms. Erinyes: No worries, Mr. Atlas. Family comes first, after all. I am sure your Orion will get tired and come home safely soon. Wanting to do everything on their own, not trusting the authorities... ...They're just that age, you know?

Betelgeuse: I guess so.

Ms. Erinyes: Now, back to our discussion...

### Panel 7

Sparrow: Thanks for all the hard work!! Isn't it so cool that the hospital still has a Grim? You don't see a lot of these little guys!!

### Panel 8

Lioness: Eh...I think it's kind of... **...morbid.** All I can think about when I see one is that some poor thing had to **die** to create it.

Sparrow: I guess so...But that was a long time ago! We can't do anything about it now, right? Making Grim is **illegal** now, so... There's no point in acting badly towards the ones that already exist, right? "& not a man alive strong enough to banish them to the New World!"

Ori: !

Ori (Internal): that's a line from *beruto*...i didnt think anyone watched that

GO MAKE FRIENDS!

### Panel 9

Ori: I agree about the grim...we have some at home

Sparrow: Whoa!!!! For real!!!?

Ori: yea!! um, its a really old house, so it has five housegrim. theyre actually pretty fun...

Sparrow: **TAKE ME THERE.....**

### Panel 10

Ori: w-we have one raven, two dogs, and two rams..! theyre really old so no one can dispel them **OW!**

Hyena: Hey, kid★

### Panel 11

Hyena: Yeah, you know, that outfit wasn't working before, but the blood isn't doing it any favors.

Ori: **WH-**

Hyena: Anyway, Bear had to go back to work, but they told me to tell you the room is available in about 3 hours. Have fun passing the time, Magpie. I was gonna go shopping with Shark, if you want to come.
