She danced...
...and then she didn't.

You better get busy finding those magic swords, then. [... oh, god. Jamie would love for that to be the future-- a future where he is definitely no longer in love with Gerald, too, because that was quite possibly the worst decision in the entire world.]

Between us? Sure. [He frowns, looking a little contemplative.] Alan's... he's from before us, isn't he? I mean... not that he's said exactly when or anything, to me, but I think he gets confused sometimes when I mention things, so I'm wondering if it's because they haven't... happened for him yet.

[Like the whole Nick back at school with him thing. Jamie knows that Mae is ahead of him, timeline-wise, but he trusts her to tell him things if he needs to know them.]

Yeah, he's from before...[Everyone's from before her, as far as Mae knows, which makes for some probably wrong decisions taken with all the best intentions of the world. Telling Jamie their mother dies after proving she loves them, or telling Alan how both of them have a mark now and how he's under Gerald's control in exchange for Sin's brother's safety - she wants to avoid giving them that sort of pain in a place where they can't do anything to fix it. But she has a feeling it'll hit her in the face, eventually.]

I don't think I know how time works here, but I don't think it'd be safe to say what happens in the future, in case...we change it.

Neither do I. ... I was never very good at science, though. [And he thinks this is probably a bit beyond him, anyway. The space-time continuum and all that.]

But-- I get it. No spoilers. Well, other than the Market thing, anyway. But I've heard that people sometimes forget they were ever here when they go back home.

I think no-one's good at that sort of science yet. [Time travel. Pfft, ridiculous. Of course, so are demons, supposedly, and look who can't stop kissing one.]

I don't think knowing that part would affect you. Besides, I wanted to share...Bit of optimism.
