I have no idea what you two are yammering about. I'm always on top of things due to my trusty calen--YAAA! It's September already, when did that happen?

I hear you, 2019 is going by so fast!

"Well, that's it then. I suppose, Bizenghast, you can can try again tomorrow. Shall we return to town and prepare for the feast? Who can write down a record of our journeys in this land so that we do not forget?" Erwin says.
