_{[Snape's eyes narrow slightly in thought. The Stone of Bologna, one of the many findings tied to alchemy. Also the name attached to the slab of stone with the false funerary inscription engraved in it, one that later became one of the many puzzles that caught writers' minds. The first line could be translated to 'this is a tomb that has no body in it', followed by 'this is a body that has no tomb round it. But body and tomb are the same.']}

A tomb with no body, a body with no tomb. Death, but not death.

Do you wish for me to lay flowers on your false graves, Aelia Laelia Crispis?

_{[A guess. Why? Because you spoke of flowers. Because you spoke of orchids. And most importantly, because you are not a bit like Lucius. B|]}

Because you are the sun and the moon? The orchids and the Earth? Everything and nothing?

<sub>[Oh. That's creepy. It's never struck him how much the Animus knew about them until that comment.

He feels somewhat violated right now.]</sub>

Curiosity about that which holds our fate in their metaphorical hands.

_{[Because he's not so sure if you have them.]}
