"Safe and sound is good," Ned agrees, stomach in knots of worry for the people who aren't. No one is ever really safe, in this place, but it's possible during the intervals to forget about the danger, at least to a degree. Necessary, in fact, to do so. Otherwise they'd all go insane. But it's front and center right now and Ned can't seem to keep himself still; he fidgets, shoving his hands in his pockets, taking them out and crossing his arms, kicking at the sand.

"What's her name?" he asks, distractedly, because it's better than offering the unpleasant response that the girl who lives in the same house as him is out there right now, maybe dying. She's only a kid and so woefully optimistic about the world. Ned's not really sure he can cope living in a world where the life of someone that bright, that innocent can be snuffed out so pointlessly.
