Eighteenth little lie ♰ This is the story of the road that goes to my house
Has anyone been seeing unusual things? More unusual than is customary here, of course. [She turns the communicator to the mirror hanging on her wall – it’s shattered, and the reflection catches her in bizarre images. Some of the shards are much too broad, extending the shape of her face far outward. Others shrink her reflection, and a few of the larger pieces curve and warp the lines of her face, neck, and shoulders.] This does look strange to the rest of you, does it not? It’s never done that before.
[Private to Jean]
May I… [The ease with which she can talk to Ned is, while a tiny step forward, still heartening, and gives her the bravery to be honest in her request.] May I speak with you? In your professional role?

[Picking flowers from any of the beds or pots in the garden is a forbidden act. It is, Esther notes, quite a shame; the blooms are vivid and bright, quite healthy despite the odd environment they grow in, and she appreciates a nice bouquet of cut flowers. She has no intention of angering any wandering horticulturist, though, and keeps herself to the flowers growing out of the lawn.
Buttercups, daisies, dandelions – nothing exotic or beautiful, but she still harvests a great deal of them and holds them in a fold of her skirt when she settles on the grass. They won’t make a bouquet, but she can still use them to adorn her cabin, and she begins, fastidiously, weaving them into a chain.]

[Because this place is boring. Occasionally weird, but mostly boring.]

[Forgive her for not believing that. If the Barge has taught her anything, it's that everyone here is much less powerful than they believe.]

I do say so.

Did I ever say otherwise? Anyway, that answer means nothing to me. I don't know what you want.

How could anyone mistake you for a kid? You're way too grown up for your own good.
[Spam]
What do you know about growing up?
[Spam]
I've dealt with a lot of kids in my time.
