Little fleshy humans can break pretty easily, she's found. "Ah, forgot to mention; has small cord attached, so can put around wrist. Very surprising that it is lost, in honesty."

She looks over her shoulder and grimaces apologetically, feeling stupider still for having managed to lose it despite so many security measures in place. "Thanks. Really appreciate help; will not be good if cannot find whistle. Best to start at place where we arrive, I think; seems good idea to you?"
