[David didnāt like the cardines. Just going to tell them about his encounter with the malleus made him feel uneasy. Since the New Frontier most things made him feel uneasy. Any action or inaction would bring misfortune. He talked to one agent about the woman pretending to be Mistletoe. He didnāt mention she was like Mistletoe, as he wasnāt planning to discuss anything involving the Fae with cardines. He just said she had the skin of other woman.]Ā Ā
Donāt know if she got caught. She made explosions... [He tried to explain the best he could how did they work. But he wasnāt here to comment on the power of the malleus. He probably wasnāt saying anything they didnāt know on the topic.] Didnāt know her. But she recognized me. Before I did any magic. Said some specific insults ābout me that wouldnāt work for every witch. [He gets more nervous, trying to explain it. Maybe it was just fear, and it wasnāt that important. But what if it was. He suddently felt pretty ridiculous for bothering someone to say he was called a L-word worshipper. It made sense for Mistletoe to know. But it didnāt make sense for the malleus who was pretending to be her to know.] Dunno. Wasnāt that weird to know. Wasnāt that personal. Anyone with aethernet could know. [Maybe she managed to get access to the memories of Mistletoe. He isnāt sure if that is less scary of the alternative of all of them being watched and every detail remembered.]Ā Just think I had to tell it. There are witches they should not know muchĀ ābout. No aethernet, internet or connection with the outside world. If the Karofsky clan wasnāt exiled weāll be way safer. And weāre great healers. Know isnāt your job but, thought maybe youāll know somethināĀ ābout fixing that... [He tries to explain to the agent more, but she says thatās not in her hands.]Ā
[David leaves the cardine station, feeling lost. His first days Smythe asked him if he didnāt actually know how to do it, and if he was asking for help to free his clan from the exile. He should had say yes then. Before he used to think he just had to convince people they were good, and not poisoning everyone. Now he feels like a lot of people donāt actually have anything against the Karofsky clan, but they make them live apart just for tradition.]Ā
[Not wanting to go back to NYADA, he decides to walk to Nowhere. But he wasnāt going to go with his NYADA letterman jacket there, so he went to a shop to buy clothes. A denim jacket, matching his jeans. And a denim cap too, because as his best bro taught him, caps were a highly effective disguise. He wants to forget about everything for a while. He enters the bar. Talks with some hot dudes. Some he knew already. They mention the first of next month is Buddies: Beers, Beards and Bears. David tells them proudly he already knows it doesnāt meant theyāll bring real bears, because he asked last week. They laugh, and it feels warms. He drinks a beer, looking at everyone.]
itās what weāve been taught. All witches. All magical beings who donāt belong must die. Itās easy.
[A thought creeps throught him. Making him wonder if any of these people in here are with the malleus. If they would know heās there. If they would hurt the commons heās talking to. He might talk about trusting commons and doppels, and hate people distrusting them. But he is no better. He is afraid.]Ā
Wanna hang out someday? [Someone interrupts his thoughts. He is glad for it. It was Frank. He talked with him before. Divorced. One son. Likes fishing.]
Arenāt we doing it now? [David asks, a bit confused.]
Outside? [Frank asks. David gives a sip to his beer. He says yes.]
