Your definition of 'good news' leaves much to be desired, Mundane.

[Since he's not at all accustomed to talking to such tiny people]

Who said that?

[thumbsize]

[waving near his elbow.]

Down here!

[mightymorbid]

...

[Well that's interesting; he lifts a hand and it seems he may or may not have been about to poke her but restrains himself]

Some kind of sprite?

[thumbsize]

[She giggles into her hands.] I'm not a sprite!

[mightymorbid]

[Well she sure sounds like one.]

Then what are you? ...More to the point, how did you even get in here? I don't see any wings.

[thumbsize]

I'm a little person. I'm Thumbelina. [Beams.] It's nice to meet you. [totally ignoring his other questions.]

[Gods, you're perky. :| There's a little guffaw when she says her name. From his shoulder Xerxes slithers, sniffing at the air around her and circling above. He shares a look with Mozenrath, and something passes silently between them.]

[Flatly] Fascinating. And what brings you here, Fingerella?

[You're going to have your name messed up forever now :| On purpose.]

[thumbsize]

[She makes a little frown, glancing up at Xerxes for a few seconds before looking back at Mozenrath.] Well, actually, it's Thumbelina. And you asked a question. I wanted to answer it.

[mightymorbid]

My mistake.

[He doesn't sound very apologetic.]

Truth be told, I don't think I started asking questions until after you got here.

[But at least this is distracting him from the inevitable torment that will be the weekend]

But to clarify, good news is only good news if you think it's good news.
