[ Sophia curls a curl around her finger. ] If they do, then I will simply ask as many of my troupe that wishes to join me up here to do so, and we will make our living here as we do down there: singing songs and putting on plays, exploring the rich history of Theasthai and her imagination.

[ And adventuring. ]
