[He pauses, because - Well, they haven't been very sincere much, but.]
I wouldn't say this is my favorite turn of events. I . . . knew a deal like this always has some terrible catch, but I was hoping. I don't know what I was hoping.
[ Yeah. Who needs sincerity when you can just make out or bang instead? ]
You were hoping the shoe dropping didn't involve death. With most of my experiences with a wish-granting anything, there usually is some kind of death.
[ Thanks for following her lead, Molly. She's going to take him somewhere more comfy. His question makes her still for a second, and she can't hide the emotions that flickers across her expression. She doesn't really care to hide what looks like anger? Regret? Uncertainty? Disdain.

She tilts her head in curiosity. ]
Not yet. Should I go look?

no subject
[ But it's strange that only those three can see it.
She taps her chin. ]
More appearing is what's throwing me off.

It was either that, or I thought to myself I could handle it. And it seems that it's harder to carry than I thought.
no subject
The greater the reward, the greater the risk. You don't have to carry it alone.
no subject
That is the general wisdom. But you've had wish granting experience before?

Ah, yes, the surprise enchanted object, I assume? Who among us hasn't found one of those. [Lightly, but] Did it work for you?
