[To be called Siffrin again. To have Odile directing a look of concern at them.]
[They don't have to feign their disappointment, or their smile dropping some, when Odile says that she's alone. What a weird feeling, to have that and the terror of being found out at the same time. The relief that stardust isn't here to break the illusion, but also the sudden awareness of a silver coin burning a hole in their pocket.]
[Are they doing alright? They don't know how to answer that.]
[But how long they've been here? That's easy. There's no reason to keep that a secret - actually, it'll probably help if they say it, right? It'll be a reason why they might be a little bit different, if their act slips?]
I haven't been keeping track of days very well. But it was still summer when I got here, I think?
