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

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

[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.

[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... ]

[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.

[productionhell]

[ i'll bandage YOU ]

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

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

[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.

[ 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 ]

[sacredpath]

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

[productionhell]

So you fixed your mistake?

[ that's good, right? ]

[sacredpath]

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

[productionhell]

Oh! That's the spirit!

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

[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.

[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 ]

[sacredpath]

I don't... think I know what a koala is.

[but fluffy is very nice. not that she likes animals or anything, because she doesn't.]

[productionhell]

Hold on, hold on one second---

[ she literally draws her a koala to show her ]

[sacredpath]

Oh! What a stupid little face it has.

[productionhell]

It's super cute, right? Just imagine how fluffy it is in real life!

[ stupid... cute... same thing ]

[sacredpath]

[she does mean it like that.]

It definitely looks fluffy. An excellent snack for predators.

[productionhell]

[ or did she.... or is charlie pretending she did ]

I hear they're surprisingly good at defending themselves.

[ i, sipp, refuse to fact check this ]

[sacredpath]

Really? Do they have sharp teeth?

[productionhell]

And claws!
