After talking to Ulrik and Sparkle yesterday and her big confession that kind of...wasn't...Sholeh was starting to really question the need for secrecy and silence on the island. On the one hand, they were her friends--of course they were going to give her the benefit of the doubt. On the other hand, even being three-in-one didn't make her the weirdest person on the island.

There was the talking pony for one.

Perhaps sensing her contemplation, the books were mostly behaving themselves today. That was nice.

"Hmm." Po peered closely at the map, frowning slightly. "Then that must be the supposed hat, where Toby and your Sparkle are from," he decided, gesturing to Canada. "This is far, far larger than my world, I think. Or perhaps the maps are scaled differently." He doubted it, though.

"This is only half the world," Sholeh said, nodding. No one knew how big Ephemera was, but this world was much larger than any single piece. "I can dig up maps of the other half, too, if you want to see it all at once."

She looked back at North America and frowned. "Shouldn't Mexico be the beard? It's the lowest."

"Maybe Mexico is the shirt," Po tried. "And the United States is the beard, and Canada is the hat? None of it looks much like any of those things."

Toby. This was all your fault.

"If anything, Mexico might kind of be a necklace? Or maybe pants?" Sholeh suggested, scrunching up her face and tilting her head to the side. "Do people from this world really try to figure out what part of their wardrobe the countries resemble?"

THIS WORLD. SHOLEH DID NOT GET YOU.

"I hope not. I've never done such a thing with Lienid or the rest of the Seven Kingdoms," Po mused. "Perhaps they're less occupied here."

"Everything is a lot easier here," Sholeh said, a touch wistfully. "The lights, hot water almost instantly, food in abundance...no wonder they have time to argue about countries and wardrobes."

"I watched a presentation on the television yesterday about a special pillow one might order," Po told her. "They make things so complicated. It went on for an hour, and -- pillows at home are very simple, I think."

"...What's so complicated about a pillow?" Sholeh asked, not utterly confused. "Fabric. Feathers. You're done."

Right?
