[she had a drink with her in the church! but yes they can go to the bar.]

...Very well. Though I warn you, if you have questions for me, the answers will not be so interesting.

From:

productionhell

[ damn.... drinking in the church ]

[ they can go to the bar though yaey ]

Pshh. All your answers will be interesting to me.

Okay, first question.... What's your favorite animal?

From:

sacredpath

[well. that's a sort of surprising question. it catches her by surprise enough that she's not sure what to answer.]

...I don't really like animals very much. Just extra hungry mouths to feed.

[but after a second.]

I don't mind so much alley cats and the like. They're little bother, keep the rats away, and are surprisingly clean. In comparison, dogs are much more noisy and troublesome, but a well-behaved and well trained dog can be a decent enough companion.

From:

productionhell

[ that's charlie, always catching people by surprise ]

Oh, cats are so cute! And they're so good at what they do. Whether it's best control, charming you, or cleaning themselves... they're really talented.

I really like cats, too. But I also like dogs.

From:

sacredpath

[she suddenly grabs her hand and shudders, clutching it close to her chest, as though in terrible pain.]

From:

productionhell

I-- What's wrong? Are you okay? Shadowheart?

[ concerned hovering ]

From:

sacredpath

[it passes after a second, and she catches her breath, shaking her head. a slight tremor of emotion in her voice. the hand she was holding is the one that is bandaged, also.]

More than alright. Lady Shar - I - I thought she'd given up on me. This is wonderful!

From:

productionhell

[ trying to take her hand to look at it.... ]

I--- Are you sure? You're not in pain anywhere? Oh, your hand is bandaged.

From:

sacredpath

[her hand is bandaged, yeah. she pulls it back. but she's smiling.]

Pain is only an illusion. With time, and guidance, we become unburdened by it, when we embrace loss. There's no need to worry about me.

From:

productionhell

[ worried hovering will continue ]

Well.... I mean, pain still hurts, so if you need help, please ask. I'll always help you.

[ peering at her hand... ]

From:

sacredpath

[she can peer at the bandages! they're bandages.]

Don't worry about it, alright? It doesn't bother me. I'm grateful for it, now more than ever.

From:

productionhell

[ i'll bandage YOU ]

Does it make you feel closer to, ah.... your God?

[ she thinks that's what's happening here ]

From:

sacredpath

[oh...]

It does, but not in a, um, Loviatar's Love sort of way. [it's not kinky.] I felt my bond with lady Shar return. I had thought - [she trails off and then changes the subject.] It is painful, but only because I am still an acolyte. Shar's gifts are often difficult to endure until faith helps us accept them.

From:

productionhell

[ tenderly hcs you, siz ]

Oh, if that's the case, I'm happy for you. I wish it didn't cause you pain, but if it makes you happy....

[ she shouldn't judge but she doesn't think a religion that causes pain is great ]

From:

sacredpath

It does. I made a mistake, recently. I thought I wouldn't be able to set it right, but there have been signs...

From:

productionhell

So you fixed your mistake?

[ that's good, right? ]

From:

sacredpath

No. But I think I can, if I try. It isn't too late.

From:

productionhell

Oh! That's the spirit!

[ she thinks ???? because again, pain is bad ]

From:

sacredpath

...Yes. I appreciate your helping me with this.

[pain is fine, probably.]

...I suppose I should ask you, as well. Your favorite animal, then.

From:

productionhell

I'm not sure I helped much, but... of course.

[ it's not fine ]

Oh, it's so hard to choose! But I think... maybe cats? They're very fluffy. Oh, or koalas... or puppies, or dolphins...

[ she will just keep going like this ]
