Olly Anonyme? I hadn't expected this to be a pseudonym, but I will happily call you whatever you are most comfortable with.
You are correct that I am a researcher with some knowledge of nomads. I did surmise that you and William had some sort of encounter with a nomad, but as I do not possess the details, I cannot tell you much without further information. With that being said, I would be happy to help you to understand what you went through. Would you prefer to tell me more over this channel, or would you prefer to meet elsewhere?
Either way, thank you for reaching out. I do hope that I will be able to put you at ease by answering your questions.

It isn't entirely a pseudonym - Olly is my first name. I have no attachment to my old last name, have not picked a new one yet, and felt like...trying to be funny. I guess?
if you can come here, then I'd prefer to discuss in person; if not, then this channel is fine.
Due to...circumstances, I'm not sure I should leave Inverness just yet.

Please forgive my teasing then. I was also purely trying to be funny.
I would be happy to come to Inverness if that is most convenient for you. It's quite comfortable for me, despite the distance. I can only expect that whatever experience you have had with the nomads was transformative, if not traumatic. Given the circumstances, I do suggest that you take the time to rest...you seemed rather on edge when we spoke at Andorra.
I will arrive on my research ship, Harvest Moon. Expect a communication from me when I have arrived, and then we can meet wherever is most convenient and comfortable for you. Until then.
