‘ they used to send flowers to my dressing room. ’ ‘ you’d have to be an explorer to find your way around in this fog. ’ ‘ the mice do not like the mist. ’ ‘ you are in terrible danger. ’ ‘ what am i in danger from? ’ ‘ i’m your other mother. ’ ‘ we’ve been waiting for you for a long time. ’ ‘ it wasn’t the same here without you. ’ ‘ we were here before you fell. you will be here when we rise. ’ ‘ i’m going outside to explore. ’ ‘ we’ll just wait here for you to come back. ’ ‘ i am not the other anything. i am me. ’ ‘ we could be friends, you know. ’ ‘ that’s because you don’t know who you are. ’ ‘ we know who we are, so we don’t need names. ’ ‘ it was sensible of you to bring protection. ’ ‘ it won’t hurt. ’ ‘ we only want what’s best for you. ’ ‘ if that’s what you want. ’ ‘ i think i’ve probably become a single child family. ’ ‘ she’s vanished under mysterious circumstances. ’ ‘ they aren’t going to come back, are they? ’ ‘ then i suppose there is only one thing left to do. ’ ‘ when you’re scared but you still do it anyway, that’s brave. ’ ‘ you know you’re talking again? ’ ‘ how fortunate i am in having a traveling companion of such wisdom and intelligence. ’ ‘ you don’t frighten me. ’ ‘ you will always be safe here with me. ’ ‘ calling cats tends to be a rather overrated activity. ’ ‘ no need for names. ’ ‘ she wants something to love, i think. ’ ‘ i’d go inside if i were you. ’ ‘ and what do you think you’re doing? ’ ‘ nothing to find here. ’ ‘ maybe i just got turned around in the mist. ’ ‘ but how can you walk away from something and still come back to it? ’ ‘ spiders’ webs only have to be large enough to catch flies. ’ ‘ still, the proudest spirit can be broken with love. ’ ‘ i have no plans to love you. ’ ‘ you can’t make me love you. ’ ‘ how long have you been here? ’ ‘ i’m not running away. ’ ‘ we temper our justice with mercy here. ’ ‘ everyone knows that a soul is the same size as a beach ball. ’ ‘ i’m not afraid. ’ ‘ you know that i love you. ’ ‘ well at least you didn’t jump out at me. ’ ‘ i don’t want whatever i want. nobody does. not really. ’ ‘ what kind of fun would it be if i just got everything i ever wanted? ’ ‘ i hope you don’t mind my getting involved. ’ ‘ we are going to go home. ’ ‘ this is not a good place to be in. ’ ‘ i’m sorry i threw you at her. ’ ‘ i fell asleep. ’ ‘ i just miss you sometimes. ’ ‘ i’m just pleased it’s all over. ’ ‘ go away or you’ll be sorry. ’
