Pyrrha snorts, but she knows what the joke is doing. It's not a surprise, and the mental image is a funny one. "I won't hold it against you if you fail," she says, "At my age, if you can make a new joke, that's a feat."

Not to mention the too complicated to get into situation of having serious reasons for making butt jokes. Hilarious too in its own way. Even after she figured Nona out because there hasn't been a good moment to share. Life on New Rho was hard, untenable in the long term even and worse day by day, but Pyrrha misses those terrible times with her terribly small and jumbled together family. It was never going to last. Such is the case with so many situations. Sad but in a familiar way.

"Problematic," Pyrrha muses, "You can have my help if you'd like to risk it. It could double up instead of cancel out. On the other hand, I'd be squishy, so I might provide a cushion."
