Cheers raised again across the valley (after the period of respectful silence), like great waves. Convoys trailed to and fro carrying messages of appreciation between the people and Todd O T. Todd O T's list: - [x] tell people about corruption - [ ] tell people about the great sadness Convoy carryer: "Todd O, the people of the Southeast Ridge have asked me to dance for you to convey to you how wonderful you truly are to them." Convoy carryer: "I said I am very busy, so they came to dance themselves." Todd O T: "People of the Southeast Ridge, I know that you care for me. I appreciate so much how you have come to express this to me personally." Todd O T [to Convoy carryer]: "I will be dancing alongside them."
