idk i feel like this group will need some coffee

"Madame de Cedoux chose truth and had to tell us the very worst thought she had all evening," Nell explains, from where she's stretched in the sand, within easy seaweed-tossing distance of Kostos, "and it turns out she is Andraste herself, reappeared from a Rift to shame us with her goodness. So we want it to not be counted until she's done a dare instead. Don't you think that's only fair?"

[ipseite]

In laughing protest: “I begin to think we all have very different thresholds for goodness—”

[excipio]

"Not fair, no, as she has clearly fulfilled her obligations. But it does sound less boring, which is, I think, more important than fairness. In this instance."

He gives Petrana a sympathetic look, as if his argument against her is reluctant and the stakes are slightly more weighty than truth or dare.

[exsecutus]

"This is all," Nikos says, loudly, "fucking boring."

He was not hit by seaweed. And he can afford, now, to be demonstrably discontent and above it all, as Caspar is here at last, and he can disengage from the group and focus instead on him. It is a little difficult to do, since he is jelly-legged from wine. He shows it largely by curling on his side, in a Caspar-ward direction, and of course by complaining.

"And it's getting worse. Who cares about fair. She said she'd do a dare. Someone give her holiness a dare, a really good dare, before we all die."
