Well, well. I suppose this means I can now officially join the "received a mysterious and vaguely threatening package in the mail with no prior warning" club. I have to admit, though, that in comparison to some of the things I've heard of people receiving? A broken mirror (?) does strike me as a little underwhelming. It's pre-broken, even, which I believe exempts me from any curse of seven years of bad luck. Quite frankly, all these shards of glass have got to be a safety hazard, and yet for some reason every time I go to throw the lot of it away, I end up second-guessing the impulse. Is that odd? I don't know what else I could possibly do with this, mind, and yet even so I...just can't seem to bring myself to dispose of the thing.

Not so evil after all, is it?

[It's a wry text, meant to make him smile, but truth be told, she's a bit worried about him. The mirror itself doesn't seem to be so awful, but the very fact it's inspired such a negative reaction in Fawkes is worrying.

But at least he isn't getting too upset. His responses are both timely and teasing, and so surely that's a good sign. Still, Rosalind gets up to open her office door, a clear sign of invitation for when he arrives.]
