Ohhh. Ohhhhh no. She has seen that drum before. There is ONE person in the world that she knows that has that exact drum because she has seen it in that person's apartment. She is getting a sinking feeling that she knows this person.

This is Kalim. It has to be. She can't confirm it — she doesn't see Kalim when she looks at him — but Nautis explained how this works and Nova Mortis, though not always the brightest crayon in the box, can put two and two together most of the time. This must be him. And Jamil must not have known, or else she's sure he would have stopped Kalim from bringing it here in the first place. He must be worried that the priceless drum has been stolen — no wonder he seems so agitated. Nova Mortis looks between the two of them uncertainly, increasingly stressed out.

"Um...you could clap your hands."
