That’s what he says, and that’s what he means.
My guess is, it was a bit of magic.
You can’t blame them, they’re like anyone.
Get it done. Whatever it is.
The air goes silent.
There’s nodding and murmuring around the room.
So, we decided he’s not an alien from space.
She’s a brave lass indeed!
There will be handshakes and toasts. There will be congratulations all round.
I need to think about this!
We haven’t really talked!
I want to show you something.
I gave you time and space, and you made your own use of it.
I think we should look on the bright side. Until we know for sure.
They look at one another. Ashen-faced, shaken.
Dark in here too, wherever here is.
Are they going back the way they came?
Would they be cursing, pleading, bemoaning their fate?
What would they be saying if they could hear?
The hour’s now come, she whispers to him.
Where’s the rest of the party?
Don’t be worried if there’s some strange noises, it’s part of the play.

Normal life.
His spirits plunge, then soar, then plunge again.
Chants have been chanted, feet have been stomped.
The planets are converging.
The clock ticks inexorably.
It’s a magic flying machine.
The engine is what makes it go.
Don’t quit now, he tells himself.
Bet you’ve never seen it done like that before!
He’s no longer used to urban crowds.
Bustling around is always a help.
Moods pass. Things look up.
Lost at sea, drifting here, drifting there.
Are you still all right with this?
Try to remember what you were like when you were that age.
Cold enough for you?
Winter getting to you?
Dwelling on the dark side these days?
The enchantments are real. Hold on to that.
Taking things too far had been his trademark.
In retrospect, he may on occasion have taken things too far.
