[as he speaks, picks up his hunting knife and slashes across his palm. squeezes a small puddle of blood into the (formerly) clean circle. pulls out a flask with an apple on it and pours a little gold liquid on top. it stays in the shape of a disc. magic.]

[drops something from his pocket in the liquid. against the marble at the bottom, like a teeny tv screen, are images of a circus. family fun. blonde idiots in love. if you ask him why he's stalking hyperion he'll shoot you.]
