"...Sounds to me like you're bound up by a lot of rules you really don't have a choice about following," she says when she's sufficiently calmed down. "Because if I really reflect you, and if your idiom is really all of what you are, you'd never willingly put me in a situation where my overlay sticks her thumb up her ass while there's a Keter-class containment breach. Twice."
She takes a deep breath, followed by a martial arts clear.
"Which is, honestly, the only reason I'm not just taking my chair and trying to ollie out."
...She takes an energy drink and cracks it. "Just needed to get that off my chest," she says. "If you are up against things like what we ran into on Harrowgate, if that's part of your job, I can and should work with you. Plus I'm a lot happier with you personally than, say, the Devil or the Tower."
She takes a drink. "But it's... frustrating. Maybe we have that frustration in common."
She presses the hidden switch, and draws her hidden sword out of the armrest of her wheelchair.
"I've lost way, way too many of my classmates to the Elder Gods," she says. "SHUIZN. Axis Mundi. The Shogun of Yamatai. And the older Elder Gods, Cthulhu's contemporaries. If you want someone in your court to help you take them out..."
She looks at the sword, then smiles at the horse.
"I think your Mark will suit me just fine. Who's with you on that?"
She pinches her nose, closes her eyes, and groans. "She was half of the reason we went... there. And the other half wanted us to lose, and got what he wanted. Am I wrong?"
