“As stated earlier, we will be shadowing a group to see what the midday rituals were like. These rituals took on a variety of forms, but we can’t join all of them at once. We will have a quick tour and then we can decide on our own nourishment alongside the shadow group.”

“We?” asked Willy.  The bot was silent for a few seconds and then resumed.
