AOP 001 Olenna and Saiph

[10:24 PM] Wittlewick: As you go about tarring, the cat stays and watches you.  She will lay down in the lantern light.

[10:25 PM] Saiph: apparently the captain likes candy.

[10:25 PM] Olenna: Who doesn't?

[10:26 PM] Saiph: Monsters I'm pretty sure.

[10:26 PM] Saiph: And probably even some of them.

[10:26 PM] Olenna: laughs.

[10:27 PM] Olenna: I think this will go well.

[10:28 PM] Saiph: Or we'll get eaten by a dragon.  Either way it'll be interesting.

[10:28 PM] Olenna: We won't get eaten by a dragon. Our parents would never stand for it.

[10:29 PM] Wittlewick: Cat: "Dragon?"

[10:30 PM] Saiph: I mean, my dad would.  Probably think it was pretty funny and charge me for the Resurrection materials.

[10:31 PM] Olenna: Really?

[10:31 PM] Olenna: Have you ever died before?

[10:32 PM] Saiph: No, not really.  Have you?

[10:33 PM] Olenna: ... I've been dead for years, Saiph.

[10:34 PM] Wittlewick: Cat: "...mrow?"

[10:34 PM] Olenna: does not speak Cat!

[10:35 PM] Wittlewick: The cat comes over and rubs against Olenna.

[10:35 PM] Saiph: Oh, right.

[10:35 PM] Olenna: pauses to scritch the kitty.

[10:36 PM] Saiph: I mean, rendered.... inert?  It that the right terminology?

[10:37 PM] Olenna: I don't know what it is in Common. No, I haven't been.

[10:38 PM] Saiph: nods.  "I imagine it's just as unpleasant, though."

[10:40 PM] Olenna: Probably.

[10:40 PM] Olenna: Dying wasn't bad. I don't really remember it.

[10:40 PM] Saiph: No?  How did it happen?

[10:41 PM] Olenna: Oh, it was all part of the ritual. You just take some poison, fall asleep and go on.

[10:41 PM] Saiph: You guys have a ritual for everything.

[10:42 PM] Olenna: Yes, but at least I got to sleep through most of that one.

[10:42 PM] Saiph: Just that one?

[10:43 PM] Olenna: You can't sleep through rituals, Saiph. How will anything get done?

[10:44 PM] Saiph: You just do it when it needs doing.

[10:45 PM] Olenna: You're so funny sometimes.

[10:45 PM] Olenna: I don't think you should die, though. It'd look so odd on you.

[10:46 PM] Saiph: I don't think I'd like it very much.

[10:46 PM] Olenna: It's very peaceful.

[10:46 PM] Saiph: And when my people do a resurrection?  You never know what you're coming back as.

[10:46 PM] Olenna: ... so no, you probably wouldn't.

[10:46 PM] Olenna: ... what?

[10:47 PM] Wittlewick: ((For the record, this is all I have so whenever you guys are done is fine.))

[10:51 PM] Saiph: Oh sure, it's all left up to chance, pretty much.

[10:52 PM] Olenna: ... you mean you could come back as a worm or something?

[10:52 PM] Saiph: "Welcome back, uncle Harold, you died valiantly getting eaten by the bullette, you're a centaur now."

[10:52 PM] Saiph: It's usually as a humanoid.

[10:52 PM] Olenna: Oh. ... but any kind of humanoid?

[10:53 PM] Saiph: nods.

[10:53 PM] Saiph: Pretty much!

[10:54 PM] Olenna: Then you definitely shouldn't die.

[10:54 PM] Olenna: I like you the way you are.

[10:54 PM] Saiph: Me too!

[10:54 PM] Olenna: I suppose I should be saying more things like that.

[10:55 PM] Olenna: You're supposed to compliment your spouse, aren't you?

[10:56 PM] Saiph: I won't complain, but you definitely shouldn't do a thing just because you're supposed to.  Do it because you feel it.

[10:57 PM] Olenna: Well, I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.

[10:58 PM] Saiph: Okay.

[11:00 PM] Olenna: I'm so glad I'm not here alone, Saiph.

[11:00 PM] Saiph: It would be pretty rough.

[11:00 PM] Saiph: I'm glad you're here too.

[11:01 PM] Olenna: smiles at him.
