The Fool ambles through the room with straw in his hair and his hat askew. Lord only knows what he was doing, but it looks like maybe he was trying to find a needle in a haystack.

He does seem to be in a good mood, though when he spots Tower he does stop and do a bit of a surprised double take.

"I didn't know you were here?"

"I didn't know you were!" Tower laughs back. "Only some of our more airy-fairy sisters, and dour brothers."

[forgottenmotley]

"Well, I don't think that is my fault," he says with a grin.

Of course it's not the Tower's fault either, but that's besides the point all together.

He puts his walking stick over his shoulder and wanders over to Tower. "But I have only been here a little while."

"And I've only been here very rarely," Tower counters. "Scotch?"

[forgottenmotley]

He drops into a chair next to him and nods his head. "Yes, please."

Tower hands him a glass of scotch. "How's tricks?" he asks, grinning over the rim of his own drink.

[forgottenmotley]

"Quite well. I've declared myself king of this place, though a goat has just eaten my crown. I'll have to find another one, I suppose." He frowns a little in thought.

This probably explains the straw.

Probably.

"Yourself?"

"Pop goes the world," Tower says, "again and again and again. You know how it is."

[forgottenmotley]

"Yes. Quite. It's one big never ending merry-go-round of fun. Just like outside." He gestures to the window with his glass. "Sometimes I wonder what would happen if the window broke."

[destroy_restart]

"It would be fun to find out," Tower grins.

[forgottenmotley]

"It would!" He grins back, "But I don't think the others would appreciate it."

Now the question is, should they care?

[destroy_restart]

"It can break anyway, whether they like it or not," Tower says.

[forgottenmotley]

There's a laugh. It's not a nice one either.

"Yes. How do you think we could do it? Is it just glass? No, it would have to be something more than glass. Which would require something more than ordinary to break it." He glances at Tower. "But you're good at that."

[destroy_restart]

"We don't have to break it," Tower says. "It'll just break because it has to. That's the beauty of it."

[forgottenmotley]

"What do you know that I don't?" There are many things the Fool doesn't know. Which is why he's the Fool, after all. But still, it sounds like Tower knows something in particular. "Or are you just talking of the inevitability of it breaking at some point?"

[destroy_restart]

"Yes," Tower says.
