[Taako's been nearby to Nate since they ended up down here; this is Nate's forte and he knows it, and they do good work when they're together. While he and Lup are doing what they do best- taking things apart, picking at difficult problems, finding things they can pocket- there's been a lot to see. A lot to do. He doesn't like any of it.
Taako's steps are quiet, as he is, when he approaches Nate this time. It's amazing how much he can sober up when it tends to matter.]
a good host

[A slight pause.]
Probably not down there anymore.
