"Just remember that the vicious cycle of revenge is an escalatory one and I'll have to top it if you come up with something really good."

"I am sure you'll try."

"I don't recommend underestimating me."

"Wasn't planning on it."

"Wise of you."

"And, sorry, you are -"

"Ahyadacil. Marillë's sister, come to check up on her."

"Might not wanna interrupt her."

"Yes, that would be why I'm out here."

"Ah, okay. You been waiting a while?"

"A little while, yeah."

"Long enough to acquire the glitter, or do you just carry that around waiting for opportunities?"

"I already had it for unrelated reasons."

"What unrelated glitter reasons are there?"

"It was for a friend and the rest is extremely none of your business."

"You kind of dumped your business on my head."

"None of my business either," she says faux-primly.

"Now I'm super tempted to guess though."

She glances at the children to see if they're looking in this direction.

"They're statues. My mom's brilliant, isn't she?"

"...Wow. Yeah."

"So, no sneaky listening ears."

She makes a dumping motion over her head and then a combing motion.

I'm still missing something.

...Combing it into her hair? It's a sex thing.
