You're no different than the rest, you know. What part of me returning to Estwael don't you understand? I don't want any side trips or any journeys- that's why you have her. I just want to be left alone. It's not that hard to get.

Left alone.

Just me.

SCREECHES

[bindsthedead]

Unfortunately, mundanes often have rather arbitrary ideas and plans when it comes to us- and none of them involve solitude.

8D

[to_estwael]

She should know better.

[bindsthedead]

Indeed she should. But some of them are willing to drag Mogget out to play, so that should tell you something about their interests.

[bellbound]

I beg to differ. Playing me is a sign of excellent taste.

[bindsthedead]

[Her mun's read Clariel, Mogget. And Sabriel isn't happy about what she learned.]

Only if they keep a close eye on you.

[bellbound]

[Mogget, on the other hand, remembers that particular escapade quite fondly.]

Are you worried about what I'll do without an Abhorsen to command me? Sadly, the hand that steers me is quite firm.

[bindsthedead]

And will continue to be- unlike some of my predecessors, I have no intention of leaving you to your own devices.

[bellbound]

A lesson hard-learned by some.

[to_estwael]

Mogget makes more sense than some people.

[bindsthedead]

And who would those people be? You?

[to_estwael]

No. [Maybe a little.] My parents. [Although there is a slight pause after saying that.] The King. The Abhorsen. Even Bel.

*Bounces* Still waiting for my copy to arrive, but spoilers are okay.

Think of it this way, you're still technically where you're supposed to be, but you're also stuck here, and both versions of you exist yet not?

My mun's pretty happy to see you here, specifically. Which is terrible for your plans, but not so much your muns.

[to_estwael]

Where I'm supposed to be and where I want to be are two different things.

I don't want to be where I am supposed to be.

[ingoodcompany]

That makes it more difficult, generally, I'll say suck it up and deal, because it's not like there's much of a choice.

[ Not that the issues he has to deal with are on the same scale. ]

Which is the worst.

[to_estwael]

Wrong. I'm going to get back to Estwael, one way or another. My mun doesn't need to get in my way- should know better than to get in my way.

[ingoodcompany]

I'm not sure how far that's going to get you. See, the best way I know of to do that is to make them lose interest, which is hit or miss.

And you're new. Shiny - which makes it harder.

[to_estwael]

She should also know what I am. What I will be... That should be enough to deter any smart person.

Clariel yesssssss

[bellbound]

Well, here's a face from the past.

[to_estwael]

Possibly my future. She hasn't decided on a when, but I am fine with never.

Although she's already editing icons.

[bellbound]

You in that mask? I always did wonder what happened to you.
