Magicians make strange deals? I think that's probably it? Because we, uh, we sometimes have to do things that are, well-- they're maybe not the thing most people would want? But we still need to do it? So, there are deals.
[Like Quentin making a deal with his newly-niffin ex-girlfriend to let her use his body for an hour a day, in exchange for help with the calculations to a new spell that would allow them all to escape a bank robbery gone wrong and to stop her from screaming inside his head until he went insane. Alice seemed pleased with the deal even if it left a sour taste in Quentin's mouth.
He instinctual takes a small step back when Cao Pi comes closer, leaning away a little to keep his personal space, well, personal but still close enough to hear the words the other man is saying so insistingly, so honestly it's a little scary, really.]
The Keeper is a world-ending threat. She could wipe us all out, just like that. For any reason. I don't think any of us? Would ever be that dangerous. Uh, or could be that dangerous. But, yeah. Okay, if I find someone-- a someone who could kill us all with the blink of an eye and seemed like they might do it? We can make a Word as Bond and I can tell you. I don't think anyone can be prepared for this? I'm not saying that to-- to be an asshole, but we're dead, we're stuck and any minute of every day, we can be snuffed out like fucking candles in the wind.
[I'm on vacation, slow tags like woah! Sorry!]
