( This kind of entertainment isn't exactly new to him — Century Egg recognises it from Light Kingdom festivals His Highness insisted on dragging them all to — but it's strange to see the kind of magical enchantments a dream can place on such an otherwise mundane maze. Much like the demon costume he's been tossed into (cheap plastic horns in a red which clashes horribly with his overall colour scheme, a matching forked tail and pitchfork, black pleather wings stuck to his overcoat), this hall of mirrors goes beyond the simple human entertainment which finds its place on Tierra and into the mystical and strange.
For example: he is certain that mirrors are not supposed to play a scene of him mistaking one of Black Tortoise's visitors as a threat and trying to block them entrance to the palace.
He's also pretty sure that never actually happened.
And more importantly, he's also certain that this young woman on the floor, sodden drunk, fell out of one of the mirrors. In the blink of an eye. Which means that the identical young woman trying to help her is most likely another visitor like himself.
So, without any ado, Century Egg shifts to her side and tosses an arm over his shoulder, ready to help heft up this stranger. )
These mirrors possess a strange magic, don't they?
( But that doesn't mean he can't talk to the woman trying to haul her clone out of here while they work. )
