[Sophie is quiet for a moment as she gives Morgan a good cleaning--it's a good opportunity to think about how to explain. but then she turns back to Agent Washington, looking rather reluctant] It's a long story. Two weeks ago, or something very near to, the castle was stolen by a djinn. Howl used the cat spell at the last moment so it wouldn't see me, but...well, when it took the castle, I landed here. I think I'm somewhere in the mountains north of Kingsbury now.
