At first, she doesn't seem to notice the difference—how would she know one Kardashian from another, or keep track of any other celebrity gossip? But as soon as you try to slip in some fake news about NASA, her eyes narrow and her arms cross. "That doesn't sound like what Tom told me the last time he asked. Are you certain that's the way it happened?"
Apparently Felicity is well informed enough about science to be able to see through you.
Who would have thought that she could stay informed about NASA from inside a little village frozen in time?
But you're not surprised that she wants to keep track of what's going on outside. "I wish more people were able to go back and forth. I can't leave, of course," she says, her mouth tightening in frustration. "If I did—well. I was born more than a century ago. Without the magic…I wouldn't exist anymore.
"But if others could, then we could do so much more to help everyone on the outside! It would probably weaken the magic if we kept going back and forth, and it might not sustain us for as long as if we stayed here continuously, but wouldn't that be worth it?"
Would it?
