[harrow is just leaning out utterly without fear of death. sometimes you're an incredibly powerful magic user when not nerfed so you don't have a normal sense of danger. if she fell would her skeletons not simply catch her? but she isn't anywhere precarious.]
I wouldn't have imagined it to be good to look upon, but I like the lights. Places like this, existing only for amusement and entertainment, are not typical where I am from. Perhaps on the Third House, or even the Fifth. I do not know how to imagine what those places are like.
[it is harrows impression that gideon would only say you were ninth as an insult.]
Most of the members of our household are there in some way to worship. Our facilities are designed for that - those who grew up with us, but nuns and pilgrims as well. One might describe it as spartan.
[listen. canon points are a thing here, gideon meant it as a compliment for sure.]
...Our God is the Emperor of the Nine Houses. He has lived ten thousand years and is the founder of our Houses. The Ninth was founded to guard a tomb where he placed his greatest enemy.

[going all the way towards it,]
Kinda slow for a windmill... And I don't see any water. [looks at one of the carriages] ...I think it's a ride.

Sit down, Lavi. It is time to ride this wheel.
no subject
You good with heights, Harrow?
[he can't imagine her not being good with heights tbh, she just has the vibe of someone who'll conquer any kind of amusement park ride.]
no subject
[she sounds almost accusing. but she seems comfortable enough, lounging on her seat.]
no subject
[he points as if to demonstrate then relaxes in his seat.]
no subject
If that is the case, you cannot truly be enthralled by this sort of ride.
no subject
I still like it. It feels nostalgic.
[he glances out a window to peer out below]
Too bad about the windows though. Would've liked to feel the wind on my face.
no subject
[though she does not volunteer to help.]
Perhaps we can break one.
no subject
Maybe we can just...
[he turns the knob? and it
opens?]
...Hm.

[she leans out of it, looking out at the island below. truly, no fear of heights.]
...It is lovely, actually.
no subject
...It's less blinding to look at from up here, for sure.
[He sits on the floor of the carriage, near the door, so he can peer out.]

What kind of places does the Ninth House have then? Gideon said that I reminded her of the it.
[he was assigned ninth... surely, that is a wondrous compliment]

[but he hasn't gone anywhere, really.]
He spends most of his time with the imperial fleet, as I understand.
