This little fool carried madness' brands
This fool was Narcissus of lore
This little fool saw blood on her hands
And this last fool cared for more

Hmmmm, only five and two minus six times ten divide by five and then the double. Very nice. They were meant to be five, but I've caught one, or perhaps two, and they're mine, and you shan't have them

[Lucy is quiet on the open line for a few seconds before she speaks.]

What do you mean you've caught them?

1/2

[shall_yield_us]

What, indeed.

[shall_yield_us]

Questions don't ruin the mystery, but answers might.

[mghtbconcussed]

And mystery is way over rated so I'm good with answers.

[shall_yield_us]

Darling-dear, you are sincere, but though answers might want you... you don't want them. Trust in me on this.

[mghtbconcussed]

You sort of mentioned people I know though. [And oh the guy who killed her.] So...I kind of think I need them.

[shall_yield_us]

Then a tale does need telling, beginning-to-bitter-end, and yours is first.

[mghtbconcussed]

[She refuses to acknowledge that properly but it scares her to the point of near tears.]

I don't have a clue what you're talking about.

[shall_yield_us]

Come, come, Alice, we'll lead your rabbit the truth's way. Merely follow it.

Which of them do you know, and how?

[mghtbconcussed]

Yeah, 'cause I'm just going to tell you that. What difference would it make?

[shall_yield_us]

And yet... if you don't give me answer, why should I give you?

[mghtbconcussed]

Fine. I know Will and the bastard with the bones. [Her voice is very quiet and tight.]

[shall_yield_us]

Lord Herondale. And my suitor! For all that I'm not charmed, that is charming.

[mghtbconcussed]

Great. So you're garden variety crazy.

I'll warn Will.

[shall_yield_us]

Of?

[mghtbconcussed]

That you're a crazy pants and he's on your radar for...whatever reason.

[Also that you're...dating...the guy who killed her but she's not ready to discuss that]
