Grouse Thicket said something dumb like "i'm tired of running"

She gave a thoughtful nod.  Yeah, I guess it could've gone a lot worse.  But.. I don't know.  I don't seem to have that kind of luck.  She'd never really run into anyone truly evil.  She didn't even think Screech was truly evil.  If you wanna give it a shot, as long as you can contribute they're pretty welcoming.  But it also could be because I was family.  His comment lifted her spirits, if only marginally, and she walked with a renewed spring in her step.
