Rafe was
still here, and so was Abigail. Margo had given them a room to sleep in after they’d shown up all bedraggled last night, and she was already regretting it. Not because Rafe
or Abigail were real pains in the ass — fuck, she didn’t want to think about sharing a house with Tick Pickwick — but just on the principle of the matter.
They didn’t have any idea how they’d gotten here, was the thing. There was a way
out of Fillory, sure, but was there a way in? Would Rafe and the damn sloth be here with them forever? She had no idea. And that was
before Eliot had shown up talking about a
Great Cock giving him a
quest like something out of a dimestore porn mag.
It made her head hurt. It had been hurting a lot lately, so she needed sugar.
Which was how Margo wound up sitting at the perk with a hot chocolate in her hands, facing Rafe’s apologetic smile and caramel frappe, and a sloth, hanging off a birch branch on top of a chair, sipping a fruit smoothie through a straw.
“I’m so pissed off I didn’t get to kill Ember myself,” she muttered.
