"If that is what you wish, then..."
"That's not what I wish….
But if that's what you prefer, then who am I to protest? House rules after all."
"Scarlett, wait."
"Just breathe into this Conch, and I'll give you all the time you want."
"Nooooooooooo."
".......Whooooooooooooo."
*BOOOOFFFF*
"Scarlett?
Scarlett?
Can you hear me, Scarlett? Say something."
"Now I can use this voice to turn all my Statutes to life. Thank you for your Transaction. Now if you'll turn around; you will see your individual Mirrors light up. Remember, don't change anything. Just view. And above all, don't go into others' Mirrors."
"Why not?"
"Think of it as a Puddy. Too wet; it's still drying. If you fall in, you'll get stuck. Abandon your own dream and become part of theres…..or something."
"Wait, you don't even know you?"
"Times a ticking."
"But you can control the time, so just…"
"Darius, unless you plan on living for only five minutes longer, I will only show you a shuffle playlist. You might miss the best song."
"I'm going. I'm going.
Best of luck, Scarlett. And......….Sorry."
*Vroouuuaammm*
*Vroooouaaammmmm*
".......Please Ariel. I am coming to you as a friend, and not because I am genuinely interested...…..because I am that as well."
"Guardian only gives five minutes. How much would you like?"
" 'Future is a scary thing, Elwin. Best not to risk it. You might have a good thing going and not realize it. That's why I never look.'
...Huuuuuu…..whoooo.
Three minutes."
"Three minutes? Why so short?"
"If I am active then as I am now, you won't believe how much a girl can get done in a rush. Especially as a Queen. Not too long to stutter, and not too short to beg."
"Three minutes it is. Hold my hand and you'll be able to look through my eyes. Don't mind the clothes. It's hard to see through them."
"How could I focus on you when you show me, me?"
"Careful what you wish for."
