I never thought that time would seem to go by even more slowly for me, but this place is, if nothing else, made for proving people wrong, or proving things possible that would otherwise seem unlikely.

Is this how it feels for most people?When I'm not being dragged around by an enchanted chain or having a shouting match in a rainstorm, it has its

About what?

[shiningdown]

It's a step away from not talking at all. We're stuck with each other, and that's only if we're not dead when we go back.

[gazingup]

Dead? We're alive now aren't we? Why would you assume we would be dead?

[shiningdown]

We did leave right in the middle of something. It's not impossible that that could be what we're returning to.

[gazingup]

... We- We left the inn, didn't we? The witch just can't transport herself to wherever we land. She'd need a Babylon Candle for herself- and even then, she wouldn't know where we would land.

[shiningdown]

For all we know we were transported here before the Babylon Candle even caught on. We've no way of being certain.

[ frustrated exhale ]

Never mind that. Never mind.

Do you still have the mushroom?

[gazingup]

You're... you're just worrying too much, Yvaine. If we were transported to a cloud, a place between your home and mine, then obviously... obviously the Babylon Candle did it's job.

[ Yes, Yvaine's just worrying too much. That's all. ]

What about the mushroom?

[shiningdown]

[ sigh ]

Do. You. Have. It. Still?

[gazingup]

Of course I do. You think I'd lose something like that?

[shiningdown]

I didn't know. Maybe you'd have given it away.

[gazingup]

Who is there to give it to? I can't think of a single person who would be worth it.
