[It makes enough sense. If Bill could really read minds, then he would know all of this information. Maybe he even knew it from possessing Wirt's body, though thinking about the logistics of that makes his head hurt, so...he doesn't. He just nods, agreeing with Cami.

There's also the possibility that Bill really can travel through dimensions, and knows what's going to happen to them, but...he's lied before. Who knows what else he's lied about?]

I'm...not entirely sure, actually. What the Beast is, I mean. We've been warned about him ever since we got to the Unknown. The first guy we ran into warned us to beware the Beast...but. I dunno. It's complicated.

[Wirt rubs at the back of his neck and frowns a little. Complicated really sums up most of their time in the Unknown...and yet, it also doesn't. In some ways, that place is a lot simpler than home or Wonderland.]

We wound up at this Tavern and they warned us about the Beast too. They sang this song-- [He doesn't sing it, but recites it the way one might recite a poem.] "You'd better be wise and don't believe his lies, for once your will begins to spoil, he'll turn you to a tree of oil, and use you in his lantern for to burn" ...Whatever that means. B-But the first guy we met, the Woodsman-- he carried a lantern like that? The people in the Tavern said the Beast is the only one who carries the lantern, and he also kind of gave us bad directions that got us more lost than ever? So...I dunno. I dunno who or what the Beast is supposed to be.

[But he knows that becoming oil for the Beast's lantern is...probably a bad thing.]
