William had been forced to wait it out until the lights came back on. "Will?" came another voice outside the room, and half a second later he heard the door open again.'Can't anyone bother to knock anymore? He grumbled to himself. He turned towards where he heard the voice from, trying to make out who it was when the lights came back on. The flash blinded Will for a few seconds and he had to rub the blurriness out of his still tired eyes.

"Um.. I don't mean to rush you..." She said as Will's vision started to return. "... but you are really needed downstairs. I remember when I arrived you were the first to greet me and explain everything but I think one of the newcomers doesn't even know he's a holder so they could use some explaining."

"New arrivals?" Will asked. Then his eye's lit up and his earlier annoyances were forgotten. "Oh that's wonderful news!" And without thinking he rushed over and gave her a hug in his excitement. "Quick, tell me" he started as he released her, "Who are they, how many are there, what are they're names, what do they look like!?" Then he paused, and recollected himself. "Oh, it's still morning. They're probably hungry from their trip. I suppose I should try to help fix breakfast and explain everything over a morning meal." Then he looked down at himself again. "But maybe not before I get some proper clothes on."
