[marsascending]

[ did she set up a little booth? maybe.

will she pour you a drink? probably. ]

Hello! Limited-time engagement only, so here's your last chance to get kisses from me before I'm departing for parts unknown!

...some restrictions apply.

Quite. It's not for you at all.

[ :)))) ]

Do you know why I became an anthropologist, Sekhmet?

[nihilmancy]

To thoroughly dissect the things earth people were saying about you, and turn it against them?

[marsascending]

Because I hate every other anthropologist and wanted to fuck with them.

That's all.

[nihilmancy]

Oh, that's a very good reason, and I'm pretty certain I feel similarly about sorcerers.

[marsascending]

What I'm saying is:

Quit acting like you are one.

[nihilmancy]

Oh. Y-Yes, okay.

[ she'll... try. ]

[marsascending]

Maybe you'll surprise me.

[nihilmancy]

It's not that I'm trying to pry into things I shouldn't. I like knowing things. If I shouldn't have asked, if I've been disrespectful, you can tell me. I've never considered you, or your culture, some trivial trinket for amusement.

[marsascending]

And I've heard that so, so many times before.

There's a difference between knowing and understanding, dear girl, and that's the last lesson I'll impart to you.

So that's all.

[nihilmancy]

[ so on the one hand, this is a correct lesson, and sekhmet gets that

but also she thinks Paloma is taking this as a chance to mess with her too, and was deliberate unclear with her intentions, and baited her into that response because

it's paloma??? so she grits her teeth for a moment, and then chuckles. ]

Haha. That's definitely the sort of thing you'd leave somebody with. I clearly have a long way to go, yet.

[marsascending]

[ sometimes it's all of the above, kiddo.

she just smiles. ]

Enjoy the rest of the game, then.
