Lu Li and Katerina, with nowhere else to go, returned to the Cape of Good Hope Tavern.
They sat by the corner table with just one guest, waiting to go to the old sewer.
The guest across was eavesdropping on the conversation of two hunters at a neighboring table, no longer paying attention as he reached for his wine glass.
"We're clean now!"
A shrill voice suddenly sounded from the wine glass, terrifying the guest into pulling back his hand, staring at the double-headed doll climbing out of the glass.
"Can we go now?" One of the heads addressed Lu Li across the table.
They seemed to be independent entities.
"Are you from the church?" Lu Li asked.
"People? We are not people!"
"Church? We are not them!"
Both heads shrieked simultaneously.
"Did you come before the church and the town?" Lu Li continued to ask.
"This is our home!" The left head answered.
"Shh... he's investigating us!" The right head warned the left, the fabric wrinkling as if in anger: "You are a bad person!"
