"I know, but back home both my parents are suddenly taking great umbrage with me; my mother will still be cursing that she has no grey hairs to blame on me, and my father might somehow appear through a rift only to say he is a young man still." Honestly that hurts to say when she has a ridiculous stack of letters just to them tucked away in a drawer in her and Korrin's room but she manages it. "We live lives of great passion where I am from. More than Antivans. We would make Antivans look like boring old farts in comparison."

Sorry Zevran, her people are cooler than all of your people, sorry not sorry.

Taking a careful breath, she closes her eyes and counts to three because this could go so very wrong for her. "If you do it carefully. As part of a plan. I would hate to see you break your arse by being thrown out on it. But you have a lot of advantages because you're a human, a man, and you're not a mage, so those are several things stacked in your favour for a start. If you ever hear anything noteworthy like that? Remember who said it, where they said it, when they said it; that's the Game. You can utterly destroy people using information like that just right."

There's a moment where Church's face is one of faraway thoughtfulness, a hand running through his hair. It's long enough that it can fall in his face, and he hasn't seen any grey hairs yet...yet. Funny, for all the stress his brain has (apparently) been through, you'd think the body might've gotten the hint and turned a shocking shade of grey. Thank god, he's not sure he's the silver fox type. "Passionate, yeah, that's definitely you to a T. If you do end up saying that around any Antivans, let me know, so I can get a drink and a snack and watch the passion fight happen. Passionately." Like a Spanish telenovella!

"I...you know I didn't really mean hey, let's go waltzing into the middle of a not-French city full of masked rich people and cause a scene, but I mean...like if you really were into it, I'm not exactly spy material. I kinda like to watch things from afar? But I can't really do that here. ...I mean if you ever, for some reason, needed my help with a mission or something, I'm totally in, but 007 I am not." Church stop dropping pop culture references. "I also would need to sing, like, way better than I do now to really qualify as a bard."

If she were ever asked? Well, some men can absolutely pull off the distinguished silver fox look, and since Araceli has a fox of her own, and has a little one inked neatly on one arm, she is a fan. It's a good look. But Araceli's mother has had her daughter climbing and racing across the rooftops of their home country since the age of twelve, learning how to steal, up the rigging, being shot at or chased by guards - she does not have a single grey hair she can blame on her daughter. Some people have all the luck. "Charge admission, I think it'd be worth your while."

Like seriously, no one has seen her duel. It's a crime because it's like cutting a promo, it gets savage.

"You know, you've heard me sing. You owe me a song one day. I will collect on that." There's just an appropriate amount of threat in there since she doesn't have the stature to loom. A moment of silence for being so small. Why can't she loom unless she appears dramatically on a rooftop somewhere? "But I always like to have friends by my side for things. People I know I can rely on - it makes it run smoother that way when I know the people I'm working with." Dairsmuid went well but that was more having to take what she could get and hopefully whenever she next gets to be in charge of something, she'll get to have some more finesse going on.
