If you would like to leave a message, you may do so here. I can't promise to respond. I have many demands on my time, and this sort of thing is far down the list. Still, if you would like to, you may.

This form of contact is reasonably safe.

I don't know what an inhaler is. Explain it to me, and I should be able to make one.

Good. I don't want to put you in unnecessary risk. But you should know we're still protecting your temple.

It's a type of inhaled medication, used when someone has trouble breathing. It helps relax the bronchi in the lungs in an emergency.

How much trouble are you in if someone gets the device? Can you defend yourself?

I see. Yes, I could make something like that easily enough. If it's necessary for survival then no exchange needs to be made. I want you all to live.

And no. I don't fight.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

But I am worried about you now. Not being able to defend yourself......could be a real problem.

The others have protected me before, and I believe they will again if it's necessary. And there are those of you guarding my temple, as well. I appreciate it.

I never thought I would meet people like all of you. Thank you for what you are doing.

As much as I hate to admit it, this is almost normal where I come from. But, you're welcome. Just do your best to stay safe and we'll do our best to keep you that way.
