[ unfortunately for john, the cavalier formerly known as princess hecate triphosphera is a shockingly observant young woman. fortunately for john, she's observant in all the wrong ways - and she's been here just long enough to get the talk from ianthe and check out the blank stares when she talks. she understands that she's on a completely new world with completely new rules. a world where necromancy isn't well understood.

a world where she doesn't really have to worry too much about this guy knowing what she means when she says: ]

So the, uh. The twins I mentioned? It's sort of my job to go wherever they go. Like, "cavalier primary" sounds cool and all, and there's a lot of formal parts to it, but in the end my job is to stand at their side and stab anything they need me to stab. It's the one thing I have to do. I really can't stress that enough. So if they tell me to give up my name, and head to some planet in the middle of nowhere, and live in a fucking bunker where the showers take way too long to get hot? I say "wow, you ignorant skank, that sounds like an absolutely terrible idea, but I guess I'm in anyway!"

[ a long, exasperated sigh. this one's not even for the drama. listen. she loves the girls with all her heart, she really does. ]

Ugh. "From the Ash I Rise." It just doesn't have the same feel, you know?
