[taking it out, holding it up, catching it between her thumb and forefinger and twisting it in the light.] ... hn.

[she thinks for a moment, then slides her hood back from her feathers, so she can slip the key chain around her neck, letting its weight fall against her chest.]

"We found a key", huh.

How serindipidous. Now if we should find our way barred by a door we will be able to open it without expenditure of effort.

Further, we know that the center of the labrynth will likely contain a door to enter into it. Shall we try the other path at the most recent fork, then?

Do you really have to ask. [which is to say: did you see any other way for them to go, hot shot?]

[she snorts.]

We're going to the center of this thing anyway. Might as well see where the door goes when we get there.

[You follow the turns back to the previous intersection and turn south this time.

It goes south for a ways, and then it turns to either the east or the west. The eastern path goes for some distance, while the western path immediately splits in two: one goes north quite some ways, while the other turns south before immediately turning to the east itself.]

Oh, now it's getting tricky. Don't suppose you remember which way we were going when we walked in here, do you?

I do not... [In hindsight I should have been making a map. Oh well. 20/20 and all that.]

West-South-East seems the most circuitous. Perhaps we should start there?

Well. Not like we know where we're going, now! So why not.

Then we are agreed.

...Besides, at least the company is pleasant should we be stuck in here for a short time.

[You head west, then south, at which point it curls around to the east.

It isn't too long a distance before another crossroads appears. You could continue east, or you could go south from here, a path which immediately splits into west or east branches.]

Speak for yourself. [then, huffing:] If we knew which way we'd started from ...

[sighs.]

[pointing southwards.] This way looks the most complicated. Want to keep doing that?

Myself is the only person I may speak for. Still, I am always happy to have something of a kindred spirit to speak with. [Then, a small nod.]

The 'most complicated' strategy seems to be working thus far. Southwards seems adequate. [Starting to walk that way.]

[with a keenly distancing smile, cold and leached of anything resembling a sense of kinship or empathy.] Don't act like we're anything alike.

[walking along beside her down the path anyway.]

Perhaps we are not anymore... There is something to be said for circumstances and upbringing. Regardless, I feel that which I feel and nothing more.

Hn.

[lapsing into silence, after that, simply walking.]

[You head south.

West or east from there? Both paths look about equidistant, and it's difficult to tell whether one or both eventually turn.]

West again?

West it is. [A nod.]

[You head west.

This path doesn't turn at all before eventually coming to a halt at the end. Another dead end, it would seem.

There are more tiny golden glimmers in the hedges over here, if you want to check them out.]

Going to get curious again?

Of course. There may be a hint.

[Pardon me while I stare.]

[Glittery flowers~ so pretty~

White? White!

She's not listening...

White, wake up!

(the sound of a light thunk)

Ow! Black, what was that for?

She was worried, White. You wouldn't respond even though we both called out, several times.

...I see.

You're not saying you're weak to the flowers, are you White?

I was merely trying to make sure they were healthy.

White's weak to the flowers~

I am not!

Black, please...]

[watching Macaron.]

[on a scale of one to ten how completely lost in this reminiscence of someone else's past are you, really.]

[She has an amused smirk on her face, and seems rather fine with whatever she's seeing.]

[Maybe about a 6-7?]

[maybe she's going to let you keep getting lost in those flowers until you actually go slackjawed before she bothers to pull you out of it.]

[Thats cool--for some unfathomable reason she's trusting your judgment. Once the voices are done tho she is going to try looking away.]
