"It doesn't have to be useful to be the thing that's happening in your head. It's only been a few days," shrugs Cam.

"Well, I'm working on it. Maybe next time I'll say hello."

"Speaking of faeries and being nervous about them - this court's mad at the one that sent us on to them and is gonna go do... something I'm not completely clear on but I'm told they're not going to kill people... about it. Do you have any requests about that?"

"Why're they mad?"

"It seems plausible to presume that given the information our original had at the time, sending me here was best construed as a murder attempt, even if it did not work that way because the redhead isn't a stupid asshole like the first batch."

"You would've killed them? If he'd been stupider?"

"Probably not! But first court may have thought I would, or would at least create enough of a problem to do some damage, instead of creating some inconveniently heavy iridium bowling balls."

"What do they want me for?"

"- who?"

"Sorry, why do they want - why did they want me to know this?"

"The money one asked if you'd want to, like, watch or anything? And I said I'd have to ask, and if there's any specific faery you'd like kicked on your behalf or anything I can pass that on too."

"They figure they can do you favors by doing me favors, if I want anything?

I - are they going to bring them all here as prisoners?"

"...I guess they might figure that but I think the money faery actually has like at least sixty percent of a handle on the basics of morality so he might just, like, think it would be good if you had what you wanted out of the situation whatever that might be. I don't know if they're planning to physically transport them all here but maybe they will, or perhaps just some."

"I guess there're some where if they start being here and walking you back from trips and stuff it'd make me - wish they weren't? 

What happens to faeries when they die?"

"I don't know."

"What do you think the right thing to do is?"

"I don't know nearly enough details to even know what the factors in the situation are! If you can identify faeries you don't want to see milling around I'm sure it's at least reasonable to ask that they wind up on an opposed sleep schedule and don't drop by to wheel me around or fetch the dishes."

Nod. 

"It did occur to me that this might be difficult because of how they are about names."

"I could probably recognize people but I don't know what - I haven't wanted things about them in a long time.

But also I thought they would go to hell. Eventually."

"I don't know what happens. I tried conjuring a dead one and nothing happened. That might mean that they just stop existing, but it might mean that they turn into something too magic for me to make - their crystals are like that - or something without a physical form."

"What factors would you need to know about, to figure out what should happen?"

"Even if I knew everything I'd just have, like, a slightly narrower range of things that would be fine decisions for you to make, not an authoritative answer."

"Oh."

"If you don't want to have to think about it I can handle it in some fashion or other and you can ignore it."
