( it makes little difference to rowena, though when a walk extends their time together she certainly doesn't mind. she lets him lead, tucking her hand at his elbow as they go unless he shakes her off, keeping him close to her )

I've heard plenty of mentions about this place being saved and revived but little detail on how. What did happen the last time you were here?

( because it's certainly powerful magic to restore somewhere so much as they seem to have here )
