Okay, I get it. [ Tess' tone is brusque, cool, almost flippant. She feels fucking weird talking into a locket, of all things, but it's been a long damn time since she's had anything like a phone, so hey, might as well try this out, right? ] This place is magic. Fairies, trolls, goblins, whatever. You have 'em. Like some kind of fucking fairy tale. [ She honestly isn't sure what to believe right now, so she's getting right to the point. ] I just have one question for you. Cordyceps. Have you heard of it? And more importantly, is it here?

[ Tess glances aside for a moment, her eyes flashing with - fear, maybe. Not that she would ever admit that. ] Because I can live with magic and shit if there's no infection to worry about.

[ Whatever 'living' might entail here, anyway. ]

G-Got it. [sounds like something painful, she probably shouldn't pry]

So... this is good news, right? Looks like no one else has heard about it either.

Maybe. [ She's not sure yet - she's still so caught up in trying to process the whole situation that she's not really thinking about good and bad. She might be feeling a little relieved, though. ]

So! Uh... what's your name? I'm Leia.

[ Tess, lost in thought, glances at the girl again, having almost forgotten she was there.

Talking into a locket is weird. ]

Tess.

Nice to meet you. [she pauses again, and then laughs in a slightly awkward 'ahaha...' way]

Sorry. If that's all you wanted to know and you want me to take off, I totally can.

I dunno, can you tell me what the hell a shard is and how I can get rid of it? Because I don't like having things in my body that don't belong there.

Nope, I'd kinda like to know that too. Although everything I've heard, it's not a bad shard. It's just kinda... there. And important! The fairies said something about the two kingdoms are fighting to get as many as they can.

I don't care what anyone thinks it is, I want it out. Then other people can fight over it somewhere that I'm not.

[she can't really blame the lady. Milla would say something about everyone having their own mission]

I'll ask around and tell you whatever I find.

Sure kid, whatever you like.
