That's it. He's definitely back.
The grin's just about infectious, but his own reply's a little bit quietened down for the moment. "Five that I knew about until you showed up, including myself: Orange got lucky - man, you really should see him now - and picked the first few of us up again. Myself 'n Indigo came back together, Yellow didn't wait too long either. All thanks to those Dolorosan dragon-hunters, of all people..." He shrugs. "Even Rose's been through changes, but she's fine from what I've heard. Got someone else we're lookin' to have a word with for Red's sake, but ain't found anyone for sure who's gonna work with Blue."

Ah, well. It's a temporary setback, he knows that much. "Mostly, we're just keepin' our ears open. Working things out as we're goin' along."
