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.

[Yeah, he's showing his temper. But he gets a hold on it as fast as he lost it. His eyes stop glowing, going back to their stand red irises. He smirks at her.]

How could anyone mistake you for a kid? You're way too grown up for your own good.

[Good, he's glad she's irritated. He feels better for having turned it around in her.]

I've dealt with a lot of kids in my time.

Enough. Adults are harder to work with in some ways. They're wants are more complicated. It's not a harder sell, just more work for me.

I give them what they want they do a favor for me. Easy.
