“Oh but I want to look into it.” Eve said with genuine enthusiasm.
“I said: put the bottle down before you drop it - please.” he insisted again. This time Puck was much sterner and she immediately obeyed. His serious voice was undeniable.
“This little boat inside the bottle is beautifully detailed,” she said while standing back … “master-crafted masts with detailed scrimmage, and look, look at the coloured twine - it seems so believably real.”
There was a label on the bottle: emergency use only.
“Curious” she said, eyeing the label.
“This is the very boat I travelled to Thebes in backwards until I found the end of the world” said Puck very proudly. His eyes turned a shade of grey violet as he recalled this, stuffing the curio back into his knapsack.
Eve laughed, it was good to have a little humour in the day.
“Should’ve liked to have seen that” she said.
