[Jace frowns as he studies a candy heart between his fingers.]

You know, these things really taste rather vile. I don't see how anyone could actually enjoy the flavor of sweet chalk in their mouths. It isn't as if that's the most pleasant flavor someone could come across.

That said... [He smirks and tosses the candy up in the air so he can catch it again.]

I did eat a couple that are interesting. Like one involving a William Herondale and a Tessa Gray. That one was definitely an entertainment that I'd watch again.

Though, Du? We should talk about the one that I saw about you.

[dulcisnuntius]

Is that a new nickname?

[1charmingangel]

It is. It's what I shall be calling you from now on.

[dulcisnuntius]

Thanks for the heads up.

So. You saw it.

Private

[1charmingangel]

Something about how you can see all about my life.

Private

[dulcisnuntius]

It's nothing personal. I see everyone's lives.

Private

[1charmingangel]

Does this mean you can see things that happened to me before I got here?

Private

[dulcisnuntius]

[There's a long pause from her end.]

Yeah.

Private

[1charmingangel]

So you know that my father killed me...

[Out of everything in his past, that's the thing that actually haunts him.]

Private

[dulcisnuntius]

I try to ignore it. It's not fun for me.

Private

[1charmingangel]

You're the only one here that knows.

Private

[dulcisnuntius]

I know. And I'm sorry. If I could stop myself seeing it, I would.

Private

[1charmingangel]

...I don't mind you knowing. At least someone here does.

Private

[dulcisnuntius]

Thanks.

Do you think you could keep this between us? The whole future mojo thing? Just... it can make things kind of awkward.

Private

[1charmingangel]

It's why I filtered this part of the conversation.

Private

[dulcisnuntius]

Thank you. You're an awesome friend.

Private

[1charmingangel]

I could have told you that.

Private

[dulcisnuntius]

Yeah, but I like giving reminders.

Private

[1charmingangel]

Remind away. I'm all ears.

Private

[dulcisnuntius]

You are a beautiful and fabulous ray of sunshine of a person and I want to keep you in my life forever.

Private

[1charmingangel]

I knew I kept you around for a reason, Du.

Private

[dulcisnuntius]

Right back at you.

[feigns]

Involving—. [ FULL OF TREPIDATION. ] In what sense?

( audio. )

[1charmingangel]

Emotions.

( audio. )

[feigns]

I had been hoping for a bit more specificity.

( audio. )

[1charmingangel]

I'm thinking of a shape that has three sides and can be applied to love.

( audio. )

[feigns]

[ o h. ]

As long as it wasn't dull for you.

( audio. )

[1charmingangel]

It was a classic tragedy in the making.

( audio. )

[feigns]

Was. Then I'm glad to hear it is no more. I've never much cared for classics, tragedies or otherwise.

( audio. )

[1charmingangel]

Neither am I in all honesty. Though, I have to confess that this tale actually held my interest.

( audio. )

[feigns]

Why, because its participants are here in front of you? [ a beat. ] Knowing or otherwise.

( audio. )

[1charmingangel]

Because I have connections with the participants.

[likeboudica]

Jace— What did you see?

[1charmingangel]

A love triangle.

[likeboudica]

A love triangle?

[1charmingangel]

That is what I said.

[likeboudica]

[ A love triangle. Tessa tries - and fails - to make sense of that. She can perhaps understand that there may be something between her and Will, but whether that is love she cannot be certain (she is less certain now of her own feelings than she has been, and on his she was never quite certain). A triangle, though, that implies a third person, and she cannot think of anyone. Perhaps Jem, because Will certainly loves him, though they are more brothers than anything, so— ]

I don't understand.

[1charmingangel]

Should I make a chart?

[likeboudica]

There is no need for that.

[1charmingangel]

Then I take it you understand now?

[likeboudica]

I understand the concept well enough.

[1charmingangel]

And here I was so ready to make my pretty charts.

[likeboudica]

I have read a Tale of Two Cities, you know.

[1charmingangel]

As have I. I've read better.

[likeboudica]

You did not like it?

[1charmingangel]

It had its moments.

[likeboudica]

It is one of my favourite books.
