I8DT - Weighs the same as a duck

[Sean Hall]

"I was speaking in that they still retained her services," Sean said, "The idea of a pact certainly puts a more alarming twist on that."

[Samantha McManus]

"If we're considering angles like this, there may not be a difference."

[Sean Hall]

"Maybe not," Sean said, "It would just make things much stranger. I didn't know that was even possible..."

[Victoria Valentine]

"That what was possible?" Victoria sighed. The dagger, notably, was gone again.

[Sean Hall]

"That things could get much stranger," Sean said, "I've known Elizabeth for most of my life. The first time she wasn't around was when I left for Warfield. Her and my parents had a bit of a row over that."

[Victoria Valentine]

"You're dealing with magic. There's no limit to how strange things can get."

[Sean Hall]

"More like my life or least the life I thought I had is feeling like a house of cards," Sean said.

[Victoria Valentine]

Victoria closed her eyes, taking a sip from the water she'd gotten as she silently counted to ten.

"You weren't always ready for this either," she said to Victoria.

[Victoria Valentine]

"Am I on my second decade doing it?" Victoria pointed out.

[Sean Hall]

"I wasn't talking about magic," Sean said, "All of these things magical or not are making my otherwise normal life look a bit off. This memory, seeing Elizabeth, those are changing how I look at things I used to take for granted."

[Victoria Valentine]

"Yes, and that has nothing to do with magic. At all," Victoria said dryly.

[Samantha McManus]

"And he knows more now than he did before. It just has to process, and that isn't instant."

"They were trying to keep this from him. They didn't know the danger that invited."

[Victoria Valentine]

Victoria gave Sam a look that said very plainly that she doubted that last part.

[Samantha McManus]

"Or perhaps Elizabeth did know, and thought herself equal to it."

"We can't know just yet, aye? I doubt she's going to make it easy for us."

[Victoria Valentine]

"There are two types of people who don't think magic's a dangerous thing that will fuck your life up if you get involved in it," Victoria said. "The ones who haven't dealt with it for very long, and idiots."
