Father Quigo leans back as Taizee asks her question.  "Don't worry," he tells her, "it usually takes a few days and a ship should be there before then.  Although I have seen it happen after a few hours before, especially when someone eats so much of our magically grown food..."  As he speaks, the corners of his mouth turn up and it's obvious he's trying not to laugh at Taizee's impending panic attack.<br/><br/>As soon as the conversation in the hall turns to the attack, Cadrick breaks out of his silence with a quick and harsh "SSH!"  He motions for everyone to keep their voices down, then he moves closer to them.  "Not a word," he hisses under his breath.  "There are things going on here, and if word gets out,<span style="font-style: italic">they</span>are going to kill everyone here!  And no, I don't know who<span style="font-style: italic">they</span>are.  That's all that Father Quigo told me."
