"Thanks," says Faye with a relieved smile. "But it's OK for Tamru to ask once. I am sure about taking the whales' deal, though I'm sorry about what that means for you, Tamru."
Tamru rubs his face. "Don't worry about it," he says. "I'm happy for you. It'll help you, too, with that whole Tephra thing."
Faye shrugs awkwardly. "That's what I figured, too," she says. She turns back to you. "I wanted to say thanks before I left. For showing me around, for making me feel welcome, for listening to me complain. I felt a lot safer because of you. I'll see you later tonight. I just need to take care of this."
There's a moment where she pauses awkwardly in front of you, then bursts forward and grabs you up in a heavy embrace. "Thank you for everything."
