Honestly at this point Mordred thinks of himself as an atheist at least half because there's nothing he would worship.

It is not that he doesn't believe there are gods trying to eat them but he isn't going to join any cults about it and he's still doubtful about an almighty omnipotent omnibenevolent force (although at some point he is going to consider the implications of exorcist nuns on that belief. Not right now though. Right now he's compartmentalizing.)

"Guys... I noticed something weird."

"Yeah?"

"Um, so. It's probably nothing. But everyone else who doesn't live in Ethiopia got heatstroke? And I'm weak and frail and I should but I. Didn't. And-- even when they didn't get heatstroke it feels really really hot-- but."

"...does it not feel hot to you?"

"For me it feels like a summer in Savannah."

"That's. probably good on balance?" Mordred tries.

".....I think it's a lot hotter than a summer in Savannah."

"Incredibly ominous don't get me wrong but I'm in favor of you not getting heatstroke."

Awwwwww how romantic.

She's gonna fumble around through her stuff for a thermometer if she can do that without expending very much energy. It's 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

"I guess it probably does get up to ninety in Savannah sometimes. Weird that the biking didn't bother you, though."

"It should. I have asthma. I don't-- this is not right."

"Do you know when the last time you experienced asthma symptoms was?"

"Um, I mean, I was in a mental hospital, I didn't exactly have a chance to run anywhere. So... ten years ago? But."

"Right, but - has there been anything since we got you out? I guess I'm - if some event occurred that caused you not to have asthma anymore, it would be nice if we could narrow down whether it happened recently or whether it happened in 1924 -  I guess it might not be possible to tell."

"I don't think I've had to run since then-- I withdrew from my medications and I... got sick..."

"No asthma that I recall, though, just throwing up and - being really out of it."

"It doesn't make me sweat to bike. All your clothes are drenched and mine are basically dry."

"Yeah, that's - weird. You think it's got something to do with the mouth haunting you?"

"Maybe???"

"...So what does this mean? Apart from the revelation that Lev can now engage in physical activity without dying. ...Metaphorically dying."

"I guess it's indicative of - mouth exposure changing people in ways that we wouldn't expect. And that there could be other ways it changes you."

"Or exposure to the books."

"You were the one who - you took part in the summoning, right?"

"Yes. I was... the focal point."
