"Hello! The Eyrie children's choir director is hoping to add some voices from a little farther afield than the Eyrie itself and Velora at the Gloria this year." (This is actually true.) "I'm helping him look." (This is true in the sense that if she picks up Nathaniel and carries him away she may as well try slotting him into the children's choir.) "I noticed a little boy the right age through the window. Is there any chance I can meet him?"
