[ Quentin nods--he knows that feeling too well. His dad's model airplane, broken. His mother's ashtray, accidentally smashed. His general lack of awareness about the world around him while he was daydreaming was a nightmare for his folks, of course he'd been told to head to his room without breakfast a couple of times.
He notices it though, the lack of panic in the little monk's voice. At the very least, it seems like it's evened out a bit. Quentin, in turn, relaxes as well, but for a different reason.
Diarmuid has made the fatalistic mistake of asking Quentin goddamn Coldwater about the Fillory and Further series. He wrote his entrance essay to Yale about the stupid books. ]
It's actually--it's really fascinating, uh, especially when you consider the time it was written in and everything, like, just from am author standpoint? So it's about this family, the Chatwins, and there's a big war so they have to live in the countryside, and they hate it, but they find a magical world inside a clock called Fillory, and there's--I mean I don't want to spoil it--but there's goblins and talking animals and Elves and Dwarves and Dryads and Humbledrum, he's my favourite, he's this like, uuuh, talking bear that nurses Jane back to health after she gets--no no, wait, no spoilers--anyway they have to run around to try to flee from the Watcherwoman, who plans clocks in trees and it's just--it's just, like--it's so--it's just so dynamic, you know? You know. Oh! And there are these Gods, uh, twin rams, Ember and Umber, and they send the children on all of these amazing quests--actually a really clever deus ex machina, except for the part where it's all real.
i'm so sorry
