Office Hours - We Could Be

[Faith's door remains closed, the brass "PRIVATE" plaque silent and unyielding. Trying to force the door yields no results, but- she said you could contact her here, so just go ahead and knock. Worst case scenario, you're no worse off than before, right?]

Somethin' like that. Ya didn't look like you were havin' a good time there, so 'Spek and I thought ya might like somethin' sweet.

[shieldof]

...are you truly sparing such concern for me, even now?

[But she carefully takes a small piece of funnelcake and carefully eats it.]

Thank you. But it may be wiser if you do not.

[makeitfit]

Why's dat?

[once she takes some of the funnel cake, he's pressing the tea into her hands]

S'betta with tha tea.

[shieldof]

The situation- has escalated.

[Despite her insistence that Rule 5 didn't actually need to concern anyone. That her god's intentions were ultimately altruistic and benevolent even to them, and not just their larger purpose.]

[She takes a small, sad sip of tea. Pauses, then takes a slower, more appreciative sip.]

The others- I wouldn't wish to see resentment fall on you for your kindness, Sir Capochin-Second-in-Command-Best-of-da-Bunch-Don't-Forget-It.

[makeitfit]

Eh, I can handle some resentment. Wouldn't be da first time.

[he gives her a lookover]

How you holdin' up?

[shieldof]

I am well enough.

[she's awesome]

How were- how is everyone doing. After this morning. I must confess I have been a bit lax in my watch.

[makeitfit]

[Well enough. Sure. He knows what well enough feels like. At that question, he huffs out a bit of a sigh.]

Well. Could be worse. Could be betta. Spek an' I're alright, but I can't say da same fer everyone. Got some people in a state.

[shieldof]

Hmm.

[Her eyes turn down. Too much to hope for that they could have just ignored the display she'd put on for them.]

That- is no surprise, really. I should have- ...I have acted as a channel for Solarinace's power before. But never for anything so- extreme.

[makeitfit]

Is dat what dat was? I was wonderin' about dat. I ain't neva' seen anythin' like dat before.

[...]

Didn't look dat comf'table.

[shieldof]

It was not. But I am unharmed.

[She smiles a little ruefully.]

Restorative magic is- beyond my ability.

[She's an acolyte, not a Cleric, don't worry about it.]

And Solarinace is not able to do so without a living connection to the world.

[makeitfit]

Oh. 'Cause dey can't leave dey're area? [if it's what he's thinking, then that makes a lot of sense, actually. Like 'Spek can't leave the God Complex]
