*at some point in time, there are two knights walking slowly back towards the castle and through the Great Hall, should anyone be looking for them.*

Mmm . . . I think, there's better things you can be doing, even if we could find a way.

[brotagonist]

Better things?

[antreegonist]

Like what?

[sobstory]

Well... when your memories came, there was... something else. Something unusual.

[maladaptive]

We thought maybe you would have more of an idea.

[brotagonist]

Unusual?

[antreegonist]

What kind of unusual?

[sobstory]

It was actually Nicholas who found it... it was a story.

[maladaptive]

About a sword.

[brotagonist]

...

[this sounds familiar]

[antreegonist]

...

Where'd he find it?

[sobstory]

The margins, I think it was.

[maladaptive]

[waves a hand]

Where everything falls in between . . .

[brotagonist]

With our memories? But how did it get out there? That story—

[antreegonist]

...we gave it to Anansi -- if it's the same one.

[sobstory]

The same one... was it a story about a sword that could cut the threads of fate, and the bindings of stories?

[maladaptive]

So you do recognize it?

[brotagonist]

We— that guy asked us to write something for him. A long time ago.

[...looks over at Mithos; holy shit]

[antreegonist]

He said stories could half build the world, change it, something like that --

*meets his look; what even*

[sobstory]

... it was always possible.

[maladaptive]

And you've seen how much has been changed, or has been written anew.

[brotagonist]

What are you saying?

[antreegonist]

*inclines his head; Lloyd asked it for them both*

[sobstory]

[glances at Mal for a moment, then back at Lloyd and Mithos]

... we think this sword exists.

[maladaptive]

Or maybe it could, if it doesn't already.
