Hello, this is Evie. If I haven't picked up, it means I'm probably deep into research and may require digging out.
Please leave a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I possibly can.

[It was meant as a wry joke, a casual reference to something from a long time ago, something that Evelyn only shared with one other person. She's learned now, her knives are sharper and so are her skills at painting symbols under rugs.

It isn't important, Sam, it was- it was a joke, look, I...I have some work that needs doing, we'll catch up later?
