are you ready for this

idealism sits in prison
chivalry fell on his sword

"Since you're back," Danta is saying conversationally to Edmund over his shoulder, as they grow nearer to the tangle and thicket of general badness that (apparently) is The Labyrinth, "I figured you could help me check this place out. The Grounds is always so much bigger than I expect it to be."

Just when he thinks he's gotten to grips with the likes of the Inner Quarter and Jack Tar Landing and all the landmarks in between, here's this fuckin' thing.

"What made you eventually decide to join us here for good?" he continues, clearly in high spirits despite the spookily-bookily things he's heard about this place. If they get lost, whatever - he's got a gore crow shift for a reason, right?

And it's not as though he hasn't told anyone where they're going, though quite when Kiada will spot the post it he's stuck to one of the bottles behind the bar is anyone's guess.

I slithered here from Eden
just to sit outside your door
