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. ]

[Oh, hello again. Kieren looks vaguely uncomfortable. Maybe it's nothing; maybe people just got sick in her world. But zombie tropes are one big ping to him, like he's got to attach a disclaimer to his chest sorry for the zombieism. ]

What kind of infection?

[Because it was dark, when he met Tess. But his room his fairly light, the blue of his lips is obvious now. He always looks worse the later it is at night and the earlier it is in the morning. ]

Why does it matter? If it's not here, it doesn't make a difference.

[ The kid definitely looks sick or something, but he doesn't look like the infected. ]
