[Misha's Pool]

Riss shook her head. "What is that?" she asked, tilting her head slightly as she stared over Dani's shoulder. It would be close enough at this distance to give the illusion that the muse was looking at her. Or near enough, at least. Small tricks like that were sometimes necessary to get through a day or at least they had been.

Still, she was a little glad that Dani hadn't taken her 'suggestion' poorly. She would have felt rather terrible for driving the priestess off like that. I mean, I still kinda mind that she's here but I'd rather her leave when it's her idea rather than force her to go. Would be nicer that way, I think. I'd feel better at least because then it wouldn't be my fault. Still, what is this thing she's talking about? Some kind of maid, it seems, but why are we talking about housecleaning?
