Tick Pickwick, former Regent and current CFO of Fillory, stood in his usual position before his monarch, and refused to let his smile waver. "I'm sorry, your majesty. We simply don't have the funds to —"
Eliot cut him off. He was really tired of hearing this. "We'll just have to borrow."
"Begging pardon," said . . . one of Eliot's other advisors. Look, there were kind of a lot of them and they were always whining about money and Eliot's focus had been kind of elsewhere lately since, oh yeah, Margo vanished, Quentin killed a god, and magic went away. "But Tick is right."
Eliot stopped listening. One of the fairies was walking up to the Fairy Queen, who was seated in Quentin's throne to Eliot's left. Glancing over at them and trying not to stare at the empty throne of the High Queen where Margo should have been sitting, Eliot watched as the slightly masc fairy handed their queen a black and white rabbit.
He was the only one who could actually see the fairies, something to do with making fairy deals. Technically, he supposed, Fen could still see them, but she was a bit distracted being completely bat shit crazy and cooing at the log she'd decided was their stolen first born child.
Look. There was just a lot going on here, okay?
( Eliot misses Margo and Josh makes chili )
