This needs to stop.

I know you've been thinking about this world and its workings for awhile now, but it's cruel what you've done. To me, to Harry...to Thomas. Please. I know what I've done, what I've promised, but that doesn't make it any better.

Please. Forget about this. For the love of everything, forget about what this world would mean to them.

Oh.

It's Justine, right?

[winterbelle]

Yes, it is.

I'm sorry, have we met?

[darlingofhiseye]

No, I don't think so. Thomas just...talks a lot about you. I'm his sister, Inari the non-vampire one.

[winterbelle]

Inari...?

But...but you should be...I thought you died in the California uprisings...

[darlingofhiseye]

Yup, that's me...wait. [ She goes very pale ]

I should be what?

[winterbelle]

[She looks uncomfortable for a moment.] A year ago...the Fomor...

[darlingofhiseye]

[ Yeah okay, Lara didn't exactly explain what those were and Inari doesn't exactly keep that up to date in the supernatural community ]

What's a Fomor? Why am I dead?

Wait, you're not from the future, are you?

[ People with magic can do that right? Thomas never mentioned dating a wizard... ]

[winterbelle]

[She smiles sadly.] A terrible creature. Powerful. And you were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time like so many people nowadays.

The future? [That's a bit... relative.]

[darlingofhiseye]

[ She doesn't really like what this means nor does she like the idea of being dead, okay? ]

Why in the world would there be...uprisings in California? The only explanation is that you're from the future.

[emptynight]

Who am I killing now?

[winterbelle]

[She looks surprised to see him. And before, she clearly would have moved closer to him and seems to be fighting to do so even now. Her face twists in sorrow and after a moment, she purposely takes a step away from him.]

No one. That's my job now, remember?

[withpeace]

You seem confused.

Exactly what's so cruel about your world that you worry about the wizard and my brother?

[winterbelle]

[Her eyes do go wide at Lara's appearance and she shifts her weight in what may have been a nervous gesture...but no, it's a shift into a defensive stance, her movements now wary.]

I'm not confused. Only concerned. As I have every right to be when Wizard Dresden and... [her voice goes soft for a moment] ...and Thomas are in danger.

[inomnetempus]

Oh, you're Justine, aren't you~?

Well, I don't know what you're talking about but there is this idea I want to run by you...

[winterbelle]

[She... doesn't know this woman and gives her a confused look.] I am, but... I don't think we've met.

[inomnetempus]

[Alice is not even a bit unnerved by the look. She crosses her arms and peers at Justine with a growing smile on her face.] No, we probably haven't. But I've met Thomas and I know that he's very much in love with you. It's a very star-crossed lovers sort of story.
