He knows Jonathan can’t know the ritual has already failed, because it involves the dark but he wishes he could, just to spite Elias really. The archivist is only missing the mark of the dark and the lonely at this rate.
So far he got the end, slaughter, the flesh and the buried in the span of what? A few months after his coma?
Gertrude Robinson was marked at best by three fears her entire career and this snivelling man got 12 marks in less than two years of working as head archivist, isn’t it far too convenient? Even for Elias, it all just works far too seamlessly doesn’t it? Its actually way too-
He blinks as he bumps his foot on a chair getting distracted and forgetting his line of thought, ugh, who moved that? He didn’t mess with the chair-
“I wanted to think it was Martin, or even maybe Tim’s spirit coming back to play…play pranks on me the way he used to, unobtrusive and childish, but i suppose it was too much to ask” Peter stills and wraps himself harder on his domain, he almost slips by completely when he notices the archivist talking to
him.

Pss pss pss, come get some Peter accidentally messes with the web and has fun annoying Jon while he and Elias are assholes in love in s4
