Mirrors and Smoke

A response from Green Judy's Simon to the photoshoot Tangled Webs: Introducing Umbrae Covenant .

Caro: **looking up into tree** Man, that's gotta hurt.

Simon: Hush, Caro. This isn't simple carelessness.

Caro: You know this guy?

Simon: Only...by feel.

Caro: Can't we help him get down?

Simon: It depends...on what he meant to do, up there. And what he means to do, now. **studies Umbrae's face for a long time**

Some time later...

Simon: Well...This will be a little dicey. Trees, is it? "And I hung there, myself a sacrifice to myself." Indeed. And not just any tree. He had to pick one I can scarcely get to on my better days. Ah, well.

That's what mirrors are for.

Daresay there must be a house somewhere on his property. Handsome...he will have a mirror, I think. With my luck he'll have some kind of Watch posted. That would be rather nasty. Needles and thread...spiders and trees...problems coming in threes. Well, t'were done, t'were best done quickly.
