Oh! Right, erm... [a brief, reluctant glance to John] Yes, of course. We can try, at least. Pretty sure the plows have been through. I'm sure we can get out there, if you just... want to send some instructions on how to... you know. With the cow and the chickens and all.
Oh, you're a lifesaver! I'll do that — power's gone a bit spotty up here but I've at least got a connection so long as I stand right by this window.
And look, Martin... something like this has happened before. I think it was before you arrived here, but if this is anything like last time, it might not be entirely safe out there. That's why I... I don't think we'll be trying to leave here on foot unless we don't have a choice.
If you can make it to the cottage, the property's warded and there's plenty of food; you and John and anyone else would be more than welcome to just stay there until this blows over. You might be safer there than in your flat.
O-oh, we couldn't, er... Well... [a soft, resigned sigh] I suppose it would be sensible, wouldn't it, even if it's just to help with the animals. If you're sure?

Oh! If things do start to look dicey, there's an enchanted rolling pin on the mantle. It's good for goblins.

Ah- O...kay. Good to know. Thank you. I'll keep in touch.
