LAURA: Should we wait until dusky-time?
MARISHA: That’s what I’m thinking. Wait until
the sun starts to go down? Because it’s got to be
soon at this point.
MATT: Actually, it’s probably closer to five at
the time that you’ve spent with Frumpkin, so it’s
starting to get closer to dusk.
LAURA: Okay. Does anybody else want braids in the
amount of time we have to wait?
MARISHA: Ooh, yeah! Can you give me one going back
this way?
LAURA: Of course, I can totally do that.
MARISHA: Thanks.
TRAVIS: Is anyone else going to be heading out the
front door besides Caleb, Nott, and myself?
LAURA: I don’t want to waste a spell this time.
TRAVIS: I think that’s smart.
TALIESIN: I’ll keep with you.
LIAM: How far away, roughly, was the edge of the
lake and islands from where we are right now?
MATT: From where you are right now? I’d say a mile
and a half.
LIAM: Okay, so while everyone is preparing, I take
out my spool of silver thread and I go first to
Jester’s room, and I stretch the thread across,
and a little (magic flitter sound) flashes across
and the thread disappears. It takes about ten
minutes each time, and I do the same on Fjord’s
doorway, stretch across (magic flitter sound). If
anyone goes in to these doors besides you, I will
know, but not when we’re on that island. Only on
the way there. Lasts about a mile.
LAURA: That’s awesome!
TRAVIS: That’s great, yeah.
MARISHA: While we’re getting ready, Molly, I don’t
know if you unintentionally dodged the question
last time, or if you didn’t hear me, but you never
exactly told us how the circus creates and writes
their performance acts.
TALIESIN: I’d forgotten about that.
MARISHA: Oh, so you did hear me though?
TALIESIN: We were in the middle of things.
MARISHA: Just clarifying.
TALIESIN: It’s usually Gustav. If somebody’s got
an act, they show it off, Gustav figures out how
it’s going to work into the narrative. Puts it all
together.
MARISHA: You bring your own narrative?
TALIESIN: You bring a bit, and then the bit is
shaped and formed by the director of the show. If
you can do a thing with fire or you can do some
juggling, and then they figure out how that’s
going to work into everything. Where it sits and
what costuming, and the whole thing is all an act.
Mostly. Mostly an act.
MARISHA: Did Toya and Kylre come together with
their act?
LAURA: They came separate.
MARISHA: They came separate.
