"And if that's true, this is definitely worth doing for its own sake."

"Alright." Nuzzle. "You'd be an amazing goddess."

"Thank you for your endorsement." Kiss.

Kiss! "Mmmm, I wonder what kind you'd be... Certainly the loveliest out there..."

"Beauty is Dibella's domain, though she is considered an Aedra."

"Beautiful danger, then, for you."

"Hmm," she says thoughtfully. "Hircine is the hunt, so not quite the same thing... That may be available."

"Oh, good. You won't have competition."

Hee. Kiss.

Here. Kiss!

"Mmm... It does seem we need more bits for the actual ritual, though..."

"Indeed. Valerica suspected the dwemer, which correlates with some of your vision. Mzinchaleft isn't too far from where we first met."

"That's convenient at least."

"One piece of fortune."

Kiss. "We should probably actually organize what we know and don't and are guessing at..."

"Good idea."

Luckily they can acquire blank notebooks fairly easily... And Lace is efficient at research and taking notes in shorthand. There's a lot of information in Valerica's journals, and a lot to be teased out from both her visions...

" - 'The only difference between a thief and a prince is bandwidth,'" she says after picking apart her first vision. "Bandwidth's how much information you can send over a connection in a certain amount of time... You could probably use it metaphorically for anything measurable sent over a connection... I wonder if that ties into the daedric prince idea?"

"-If it refers to the magicka entering from Aetherius through the sun."

"Your cosmology is so weird."

Shrug. "I just live here."

Kiss. "You're the best feature."

"Maybe if this works out the right way, I can rearrange things more sensibly."

"Oh, that'd be delightful."

Kiss!

"You'll have to be sure to share all your best ideas with me."

"I'll make a list."

"You are very good at lists."
