On my way!

[And will be knocking on his door a few minutes later.]

[ With the door open, he gestures for Wei Wuxian to come in, and then goes to get him a cup of tea. ]

How have you been?

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh..It's been a rough couple weeks but I'm surviving. How about you?

[He walks in and carries the poem over to the table.]

[lunchbreaks]

Oh, it's been alright. What's this you have for me?

[ He pours Wei Wuxian some tea and then goes to take a look at the paper. ]

Jabberwocky... I can see why the empathy had a time with this!

[scaredofdogs]

We found in the room they have all the books about plants...Do you know what a Jabberwocky is? Is it trying to warn us of something?

[He takes the tea and blows on it as he stares at the paper.]

[lunchbreaks]

It's a nonsense poem. They were quite popular! Just words that are supposed to sound a certain way, to teach children. Frabjous, for instance, is supposed to suggest fair and joyous, but it's not a real word.

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh..so it couldn't understand it because it only knows real words.

[That makes him feel a little better about their failure to translate it.]

Is the Jabberwocky fake too?

[lunchbreaks]

I had thought so, but here, who knows what is real and what isn't?

Was there anything else with this poem?

[scaredofdogs]

[He shakes his head.]

We found it inside one of the books about plants. It's like it wasn't supposed to be there.

[lunchbreaks]

Books?

--Where are the books?

I think Crowley should see them; he knows more about plants than I do...

[scaredofdogs]

I can show you! There is a room of them downstairs. Lan Zhan was going through them and trying to figure out how many different plants there was.

[lunchbreaks]

Ah, perfect! Let's go.

[scaredofdogs]

[He picks up the poem and heads towards the door.]

So these things described in the poem..how do they look in the stories?

[lunchbreaks]

Oh, it's just some fearsome thing meant to scare children. So I suppose... it looks quite similar to a dragon?

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh..well that would definitely be something that sticks out.

[He leads him down the hall towards the elevator.]

I wonder if one actually lives outside of the hotel.

[lunchbreaks]

Well, if it helps, I certainly haven't seen one inside the hotel!

But I did turn into a snake once, so I think perhaps even if we see a Jabberwock, it might just be another resident.

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh really?? Did you get to be a shapeshifter too??

[Because that was the most fun he's had.]

[lunchbreaks]

Oh.

You as well? What could you turn into?

[scaredofdogs]

I could turn into anything! I was a rabbit and a lizard.. I even used it to change into my previous body.

[lunchbreaks]

Oh! That's very useful. I should've liked to see that!

[scaredofdogs]

Maybe I can get it back and show you! If I do then I will certainly let you know.

[lunchbreaks]

Hmm, I wonder whose tea that was. I used to be able to do something similar!

[scaredofdogs]

Really? Maybe it was yours! I know someone who got one of my abilities recently. It was..not the best of ones to get..and I'm not sure she really got to enjoy it. But it's good to know that they haven't just disappeared.

[lunchbreaks]

Maybe! Did it taste like earl grey with cream? My other one did!

Actually... that hasn't worn off like the other teas.

[scaredofdogs]

Ahh..I don't really know how I would describe it. I don't think that was it though.

Your tea hasn't worn off?
