[she.



knows.

clearing her throat.]

Do you wish to tell me what happened?

[greatvalue]

[help.

he knows what you are, harrow...]

...

How much did Lavi tell you?

[outsidebones]

A good deal. As I understand it, Lavi believes you were somewhere that reflected details about the place Gideon and I are from. It is possible.

[greatvalue]

... Okay. Well. Lavi's not the only one who thinks so.

We found a bunch of paintings inside this castle. And your name was written behind one of them. It... called you the ninth saint to serve the king undying, whatever that means.

[outsidebones]

[haha. oh.

she looks horrified!]

...Oh.

[greatvalue]

[... Oh. Hm.

He is now very concerned.]

Harrowhark, are you okay?

[outsidebones]

[she shakes her head, clenching and unclenching a fist and looking at it idly.]

...I'm fine. I don't know what it means; perhaps it means nothing.

[greatvalue]

... Are you sure? [Watching her carefully.] No offense, but you don't look fine. You looked horrified.

[outsidebones]

This is all very strange.

[she doesn't answer whether or not she's horrified.]

I don't remember any of this. So I can't tell what's cribbed together from nightmares and half-formed ideas and what has a kernel of truth to it. I did very much desire that outcome. Perhaps that is what is meant.

[greatvalue]

[Hm. He won't press, though he's visibly concerned.]

... Maybe. It wouldn't be the first time hell has copied and then altered something from our worlds.

[outsidebones]

Yes. My thoughts precisely. The fucking octopus, for instance.

[greatvalue]

Stupid octopus should have been left out to dry.

[and then lavi killed it but At What Cost]
