You've heard correctly. It's not unheard of for someone to disappear from here, only to reappear some time after. You can be rest assured that you will see each other again, whether it be here or back home.

Hope so. Think he'll get real mad if me, Sa— [PRACTICALLY STUTTERING HERE. Like they were about to mention the name of someone they're trying to avoid.] If, um... If we have fun without him.

[Not suspicious at all. What name starts with "Sa", anyway...?]

[ his eyes narrow for a moment, but only just that - a moment. afterwards, he's back to only looking concerned. ]

I'll buy you something to eat.
