It's a relief to hear from Amelia, and even more of a relief that she avoided the worst of the storm. She smiles at the message, then settles in her kitchen chair to write a reply. Anastasia immediately hops into her lap and she has to use a hand to keep those curious little forepaws from tapping out gibberish onto the PINpoint.

I'm glad you missed the worst of it! It sounds like it was pretty bad. The weather here was fine.

She pauses, fingers hovering over the screen. Amelia is only asking about the weather, but they weren't entirely free from trouble.

Remember that conversation we had about Caspar not telling me something? He finally did. One of his creators got in touch with him unexpectedly. It was kind of a mess. But we worked through it. I have some good news, too! We're engaged.
