Toz began by introducing himself and the cats. The woman was surprised when Lucy said hello from the shelf he was lying on since she hadn't noticed him before. But after Toz started talking, she understood that he didn't have any bad intentions, for now at least, so she was surprised but not scared.
The woman's voice was hoarse and weak after having been out of use for so long and because she was still recovering from starvation and dehydration. She introduced herself as Joan and her still unconscious son as Joshua.
Toz told her about the island of trees they were on and how he and the cats saved Joan and her son after discovering the boat drifting through the Void. Joan almost burst into tears again as she thanked Toz.
