"Such a thing is uncommon?" they say, a little skeptically. "One has to walk to find where the Silver begins to encroach onto the land, but walking into a dream as one awake is about as common as stepping into, feh, pardon the comparison, destrier guano. Or cow manure, when one's out in the country."
They lean forward and lower their voice, "but okay like, what mean'st thou by eldritch? There are like, distinctions. The ones what gather about stagnant water and bring blindness, they're as the microbes what bring cholera. Ones what walk around at night, and ones what must be kept away from bedrooms and maternity wards, they're as people. But there are ... nu, like. There are things what cannot be understood except in how they shape one's story."
They're on something of a fishing expedition, not really expecting that Daisy will get what they mean. But the term she used, that was the term Anzu had used for a certain animate statue, and for certain ... events they both encountered in the course of Anzu's work. Generally, the supernatural claptrap Anzu deals with is more or less people. Sometimes ... sometimes it's not.
