"Is anyone else going to be here?"

"Besides you and me and the baby? Probably not for a while. Unless another elemental starts nearby, I guess."

"I wonder if that is likely."

"I have no idea. I think it would be nice to meet more elementals, then I could learn more things about you."

Nod nod.

"I'd never heard of elementals before I met you. It wouldn't surprise me if you're rare."

"Maybe! I don't know."

"And there was nothing about you in any of the magician's books..."

"There wasn't? I didn't read them all."

"He had other books besides the ones I managed to steal."

"And you read them all?"

"Well, maybe not all of them. Most, though."

Nod.

"I want to know more but it's not safe to talk to most people, it's annoying," she sighs.

"I could go talk to people."

"True."

"Maybe I should do that."

"Maybe. It would be slightly a pity to wait three months to meet another person."

"Would it?"

"Well, maybe. I was a baby when I was less than three months old, I don't remember it."

"Babies don't remember things?"

"Grownups don't remember things from when they were babies."

"Why?"

"...I don't know."

"When does it happen?"
