Headmistress Nelynna assured folks that the song was mostly harmless and just part of normal child's play. She encouraged parents to continue to let their children come to school and implored them to keep their children from the water's edge because there had been rumors of a sailor nearly being drowned. Lady Danalla, the caretaker of Akinir, shared a scarp of parchment that was a piece of mail from Jillou.
