@9thReverend [it takes a massive effort not to stick out her tongue] What if it ends up the real prize isn't lyctorhood, it's the friends we made along the way?
@9thReverend [sucks her teeth, doubtful] I think if you pass out on top of the priests the second we get there, that's going to be WAY more embarrassing than my face.
@9thReverend [leans over as you ask, offering her face for your scrutiny, but she droops like a petulant child] Is this how it's going to be the whole time?
@9thReverend [comforting, strangely enough, that your imagination didn't auto-conjure that threat] S'not my fault they've got a big blistering light on the way in. [but she does try to smudge her face again] Ninth vestment's for lurking in planetary asscracks, not making a grand entrance.
@9thReverend [it's her turn with the disgusted face as her imagination betrays her, supplying pantomime of your geriatric nursemaid hitching up his robes, and she throws up her hands in defeat] I'll be as quiet as the Tomb and as reverent as a leek picker. Did you come up with that just now?
@9thReverend [dabs at her jawline, trying to fix the oily smear brought on by her planet gazing] Right, right, yeah, I remember. I'm just getting it'll all out there while I've got the chance, you can't blame me for taking my shots while I still can.
@9thReverend Don't blood-sweat it, bonecheeks. [settles in her seat, re-adjusting the harness over her chest not for the first time] You do your divine necro puzzle, I'll stand around half a step behind you looking hot and intimidating. It'll be perfect.
@9thReverend Self-preservation? [she looks at you. her face paint is already smearing] Nonagesimus, I didn't spend three months running cavalier drills for you to question, MINUTES before we get there, if I can take care of myself. [a beat, and she adds for good measure] I've got a brain.
