[She smiled up at her innocently and gave her friend a playful wink.]

Now, now, Ange-dear. Please forgive your friend her macabre and awful sense of humor. Having me in a position to hold the spell, as a statue would be one way to get my arms to stay in place, mmmm? [She laughed softly and shook her head.]

No, of course I don't think you would willingly let something happen to me.

[If she were 'entirely herself.' But Vira-Lorr didn't add that to this point. Instead, she kept that bit to herself as she played it all off as her, admittedly truly awful, sort of joke at a time like this. It was, honestly, a little on point for how she could be from time to time.]

But I will be happy to help protect you, my friend.
