A question I received after the last page was "how does Mist know Tedd knows that Mist has a horn?"

I think I distracted from the obvious answer by referencing when Tedd looked at Mist's form in the mirror. I drew attention to something Mist wouldn't know about, and that created confusion.

Mist expects Tedd to know he has a horn because there was a witness (Hope), and Mist assumes that witness told Tedd.

Passing notes

Dead drops are a real thing and not at all a term I've invented. Given that one can just look it up themselves, I'm going to go ahead and say (basically) what they are here: A dead drop is a method for dropping off or exchanging things without ever meeting face to face through the use of secret locations.

I've undoubtedly heard the term in a number of things without really thinking about it, but what burned the term into my memory was the game Fallout 4. There's a secretive group in it that loves to open missions with dead drops that give you the details of those missions. This is a decent bit of flavor in a game focused primarily on running around and fighting things, but the locations of these dead drops could be a bit, um... Immersion breaking, shall we say.

"Agent whisper, we have a new mission for you. Retrieve the dead drop from an old mail box in West Everett Estates."

"West Everett Estates?"

"Yes."

"The old ruined neighborhood that has since become a base for deadly super mutants?"

"Yes."

"WHY THERE?!"

"You have to admit, no one's likely to stumble across a dead drop there."
