[well, harrow is sitting around the pool, after presumably a sleepless night since there's nowhere to sleep anywhere. dipping her toesies in the water.]
Well, then. Let's talk. Who is it for you?

It does seem that way. Oh, speaking of which - I do have a rather nasty wound in my back, I'm afraid. It's fortunately stable, but I haven't been able to see it well enough to see if it needs tending to. Will you mind taking a look?
[unhooking the button at the back of her neck. even in 1920s fashion harrow still wears like an undershirt as a bra so it's fine. anyway yeah it looks extremely horrible it's just a sword wound directly through her back that looks deep but also scabbed over and not actively bleeding.]
Does it look like it's healing properly? I was trying to repair it before I came here, but the process will unfortunately stop now.

[ sighing so, so deeply. but molly isn't exactly precious about looking at gorey wounds, and figures Harrow doesn't want him to be, so he just makes a very disapproving face of her carting around here with grevious injuries and then pulling a its just a flesh wound on him. he doesn't prod a finger into it, but he does gently touch it. ]
Doesn't look infected - what in the hells happened to you?

Someone tried to kill me. Do keep in mind that, with necromancy, it's a bit difficult to do.
Indeed, the usual suspect. The Saint of Duty. It irritates me to no end - there truly was no reason for him to keep up the charade, but the man is unfathomably stubborn.
That's so patronizing. I can kill him myself if I want to. But we have bigger problems.
Yes, but you cannot do it. He is out of the realm of possibility. The closest I ever came was getting him to consume my bone marrow...
[but she nods, frowning.]
It is God.
[but she nods, frowning.]
It is God.
That is all you have to say about it? The God of the Nine Houses lies prisoner, trapped, his divine life on the line.
...Unfortunately, yes. Even he is capable of being bested, and as you know, these places hold a great amount of power.
But what I truly worry about is - well, even if he were killed, he might not stay killed, being God. But I'm given to understand that our system's star Dominicus is directly tied to his consciousness. So you see, even if he were to survive, there is a rather high chance of his undoing meaning the death of every person living planetside in the Nine Houses.

[she will go about buttoning back up her dress from behind, frowning.]
You do understand what may be asked of you? "Entertainment."

Ow.
[wincing, but more like a sulky teen. she has a high pain threshold.]
You know what I mean. I cannot refuse this - it is the lives of my House that hang in the balance, and I owe too deep a debt. But are you prepared to face what may be asked? If not, you were a fool to come.

[ pulling an arm around the front of her shoulders and pulling her back into a hug, putting his chin on top of her head. ]
No offense, but the fact that you're here means I absolutely made the right decision. Someone has to keep you from doing some stupid horseshit.

[going boneless at being cuddled so aggressively.]
Don't be stupid. I know what I'm doing.
