[ Usually, Lennon wouldn't be caught dead looking like this on camera. His hair is a mess from sleep and he's pale, eyes red rimmed and generally looking like a complete wreck. He sniffles and lifts up a pretty mushroom. ]

My ... fae... turned into a mushroom... Does anyone know how to make him turn back?

[ He's going to be so mad at Daeshim later. ]

Please...?

[diabolique]

You are now.

[privatechat]

It's different.

[ And the fear of being replaced at some point is hard to keep down as much as he and Daeshim have worked on it and he's in a way better place with than he was not long ago. ]

[diabolique]

How?

[privatechat]

It's different when people meet in world after world like it's... fate.

I'm just the fluke.

[diabolique]

(( He smiles gently. ))

If you believe in fate, it can't be a fluke.

[privatechat]

If it was fate then wouldn't I be in all those other worlds too?

[song_princess]

....Perhaps what made you scared of him and the sight of you crying was the reason why he changed.

[privatechat]

We were already done fighting... I went to sleep with him beside me and woke up to a mushroom on my pillow.

[privatechat]

Him changing makes it worse! He didn't tell me anything... I don't know...

[diabolique]

Not necessarily.

[privatechat]

How does that make sense?

[diabolique]

Fate brought you all here together, right?

[cupiditasmedendi]

Oh. [Curiouser and curiouser. Raphael does look a little baffled.]

Is this... normal, for fae? Turning into mushrooms..?

[privatechat]

He's mentioned something about it before... I think... but he's never turned into one with me...

[privatechat]

I don't know that it was fate.

[diabolique]

What else could it be?

[privatechat]

Coincidence. Or a fluke.

[diabolique]

There's no such thing if you believe in fate.

[cupiditasmedendi]

[Ah, that's something.]

He didn't tell you anything about it when he mentioned it?

[privatechat]

Not everything is fate.

[privatechat]

No, not really… I didn’t really take it very seriously at the time either.

[diabolique]

That's not how fate works.

[privatechat]

Are you an expert on fate?

[diabolique]

Is anyone?

Fate's not just the big things, it's everything.

[privatechat]

I don't think everyone's important to fate.
