Hey, Randvi and K!
Hope you're doing all right.
Wanted to let you know about a couple of things.
I told K earlier, but just so you know, Randvi, there are very, very large bears in the jungle.
The one we encountered was 10-feet tall, at least.
Maybe K can show you how tall that is?
I'm not sure what measurements they use in your time.
But it's really, really tall.
Thankfully, we didn't fight the bear, and it just went after the food we had.
Probably want to keep any food stores secured away from you.
And then we also encountered a dinosaur today.
Like a raptor-style dinosaur.
I'm not sure how best to describe this for you, Randvi.
Sort of like a dragon?
It's a really, really big and dangerous lizard with feathers that walks on two legs and has very sharp claws on its hands.
It had to be 9 or 10-feet tall.
We're trying to get out of the jungle, heading into the foothills.
Just slow-going with Jet and Kk's injuries and me still getting dizzy.
Ben is alive again.
He's the man who Detective Cohle posted about dying.
I told him he should probably head down to your camp for safety.
But I wanted to give you a warning.
I'm a little bit concerned about him.
He's not in a great mental place, I don't think, especially after dying, and he has a gun.
That's a weapon that's sort of like a slingshot, but it uses metal instead of stones and there's a mechanism that does all the hard work of swinging for you.
Just keep an eye on him.
And maybe don't leave him alone with Senku for too long.

[Even in Ravensthorpe the children sometimes gang up on one another for reasons only children understand]
I am sorry to hear about your mother. I think I understand what you mean.
no subject
Sorry.
School's mandatory for children.
Up to 17-years-old.
Which probably isn't a kid for you.
Childhood is a lot longer... later on.
You don't need to apologize, though.
It was just us against the world. :)
[And it was miserable. Random strangers don't need to be apprised of that.]
And here, it'll be all of us against the world.
I like our odds there.

[Randvi was too young to remember her mother's death, though it feels like she does because her sister’s told her the story so many times. That's not something that needs to be said either]
Not inclined to bet against us?
no subject
I don't bet against my own interests when I can help it. :D

Keep safe, Randvi.
Best get back to things.
I'm betting on both of us.
