Oh, good. Gideon seems to have understood that. Or, at the very least, she isn’t whatthefuck-ing at him anymore.

“I wanted to see if anything else had changed beside the foliage,” he says with a gesture that encompasses the cemetery. “If the materials that the gravestones were made of had changed, or their age. Or,” and this bit is a little more difficult to explain, but if Gideon really is from his world, perhaps she will know what he means, “if the energy had changed. The balance of what I’ve been calling thanergy and thalergy.”
