"Thank you," Luz said gratefully, taking a long drink and then trying her best to get into a comfortable position. "I hope that's true. With some people, sometimes all they have in them is to be deceptive."

Luckily she hadn't met too many people like that. Sleepers at least tried to look after each other if they could. It was regrettable that Luz couldn't use her staff to travel along faster, but that was just the way things were going to be for right now. Besides, what was so wrong with taking the calming way?

Luz was shaken from her thoughts with the question.

"Oh, me? Well. If you happen to have something. I was going to wait until I was home."
