[they manage to find the door (success!) and step out into the hallway. a quick check of the numbers lets her know they're on the second floor and she sighs]

These are all two-hundreds. So second floor it is. [but perhaps more to the point really:] Is a library moving floors really that much stranger to you than a magical world that kidnaps people and gives them whatever they want now that they've taken them?

[karen bites her lower lip. it means she's thinking, the wheels of her brain turning as she tries to figure out the motive here. why do those things? why kidnap them at all.]

And then there's this whole thing with the Queen? [whoops, thinking out loud. but she kind of thinks matt doesn't mind. or at least she hopes he doesn't. she misses ben; she misses figuring things out alongside of him. she frowns, tensing for a moment, trying to stave off thinking about him. she'd have time to mourn later; that had almost become like a mantra. later, when things settled down. later, when they've solved their pressing problems. that's what ben would've wanted.] What's her angle, though? Maybe the mirror people weren't enough, or -- or, maybe she doesn't get the mirror people without stealing real people.
