[God's teeth the shaving mirror is possessed.

Styles throws it into the other room.

And comes out a minute later when he's got the foam rinsed off, and peers at it from a cautious distance.]

Are you a fairy queen, ma'am?

Well. That was a bit of an overreaction. And yes, I am.

Begging your pardon, ma'am, but shaving mirrors don't often talk back to me.

I don't mean to be rude, beg your Majesty's pardon, but where are we?

We are where we are. And wherever it is, it does seem to have a lot of mirrors.

Was it the fair folk who spirited me here? It's a long way from home, Your Majesty.

I don't know. I certainly didn't do it, I've never seen you before.

Of course not! They merely took advantage of my inattention.

So it isn't your land, this place?

Of course not! My land is far more glorious than this.

My mam warned me not to make deals with the faeries, your Majesty, but if you can take me home I'll offer what an old sailor can, save for my own soul.
