Oh. Oh.

This is good. This is good.

It isn't enough for you, anymore, is it. You're getting bored. I could have told you - could have warned you. He's ordinary. He's on the side of the angels. He'll always be boring, and you'll always want more.

You know the City, now, you know her webs - her intrigues - you know every last thread you could pull and twist.

You and I... We could bring the whole house of cards down. We could really show them something interesting. We could make sure no one was bored. We--



SHUT. UP.

IDIOT. COWARD.

Say no to me, and I will destroy you. Not today, oh no.

But just wait.

I'll burn you hollow from the inside.

I-I don't believe you.

And no. I don't want to. I've got--someone I've gone out with more than three times, now.

[notordinary]

Think, Molly. I know it's hard. But really think. He and I can't come from the same place, can't be in the same place together.

And you have to admit I'm so much more fun.


Oh. Oh really. Are you trying to make me jealous? [Because he really isn't, and his grin is just creepy.]

[ecphrasis]

You aren't. I have faith in him.

[ughugh she looks a little green] No</i.!

[notordinary]

[He tsks gently. Fondly.]

You always have. It's sweet how well he has you and Johnny-boy all tucked up nice and neat in his pocket. Sickly sweet.

[And the grin widens.]

Now now Molly, don't be that way. We could have a lot of fun, you and I.

[ecphrasis]

We aren't "in his pocket." We're his--friends. [she doesn't sound as if she totally believes it, though]

No. I don't want to have "fun" with you.

[notordinary]

[He giggles.]

Friends. I should have included you in the game, shouldn't I, but I didn't. I won't make that same mistake twice.

He even keeps you in his house. It's touching.



Don't lie to me, Molly. I don't like it when people lie~

Well. Unless it's me.

[ecphrasis]

What game? And--well, I just haven't found another place to live yet. That's it. [he totally isn't collecting them]

I'm not lying.
