"Gladly."

She reaches out, takes Sin's hand, and kisses the knuckles softly.

Gosh. 

She blushes a little and smiles. "My... witch knight?~"

She grins. "Your witch knight indeed. My mage princess?"

"You're on."

She smiles and nods. "Let's go kick some ass."

Where are those goats?

That way.

They shall go goatward together, then!

As they get closer to the goats, Sable tilts her head for a moment and then turns toward Sin. "One of the others wants to switch in, meet you more properly. Is that okay with you?"

"... Sure, go ahead."

She'll reserve judgment for now.

And the body shifts, suddenly, twisting over a second or two into something shorter, with a messy bob of black hair and piercing green eyes. The breasts shift a little smaller, the hips a tiny bit narrower, and a dozen smaller changes integrating everything into a cohesive whole. The new girl shifts the saber to her other hip, to be ready to draw with her left hand instead of her right.

And then she looks at Hyacinth with an interested gleam. "Hi Hyacinth. I'm Hailey. Good to meet you. Forgive the lack of handshake, please, 'cause it takes me a while to feel comfortable with physical contact, and only happens with effort." Her voice is different, a bit higher, a bit sharper, a bit less musical.

Hey, how come Sable gets alts and she doesn't??? 

"Ummmm. Hi!"

Because Sable has four girls sharing her brain and they all agreed to use the same build?

"Y'know, Sable's more hopeful since meeting you than in the past year and a half. I'm impressed." And she's more cheerful than at any point since before the bitch tore her heart out and spat on it, too, but that's a story for another day.

"Awwww. Well, I'm glad she likes me."

"So what's your favorite book, and what're you in unI for?"

"The Slow Regard of Silent Things. And creative writing."

Her fingers flick against empty air as she looks at a browser window for a moment. "Huh. Interesting-looking book. Downloading a copy for later."

She looks back over at Hyacinth. "What kinda stories are you trying to tell?"

"Fantasy ones. I always used to want to write about... lady rogues, I guess you could say."

Hailey gives Hyacinth a very amused smirk, then briefly draws her saber, tosses it in the air to flip end over end for a long moment, and catches and sheathes it again.

"Lady rogues, you say?"

"Um, yeah. Mostly... imagining myself as one."

She chuckles. "That's not a fantasy we can relate to at all, no ma'am," she snarks.

She giggles.

This is weird, but... 

Who is she to stop Sable/Hailey from living her... their? Best life? If she can be a girl then Sable can be two, sure. It's not like she's never had alts before. 

She smiles. "Any questions for us? Including ones about plurality?"

"I mean, I guess... How does it work day to day for you?"

"We basically time-share a life. We have different but overlapping hobbies and interests, similar tastes in partners, and all five of us love each other. So we cooperate. We talk about when we want to switch in, we banter internally about shit that happens, we support each other when shit sucks, and we try not to interfere with each other's romances — although usually Sable winds up taking the lead on those, and the rest of us gradually get to know them if we think it might work out."

She shrugs. "Outside of banter, any given day sees one or two of us, typically. For stuff we'll have to share, like our CORA build, we try to find a compromise. Maya would've wanted a bombardment tank if we could have separate builds, Ruby would've picked something speedy with pinpoint DPS, I probably would've picked a lightning-biased ranger/archer, etc."
