[ dawn can't help but laugh as river spits hair out of her mouth. it's been too long since they did this. she nods at the question, smile wide and easy. ] On the higher side of it.

[ that's okay, river can make her a sundial fashioned from old espadrilles and cobblestone. ] Not a viable measurement. Half-pasts cover more ground, give allowances. It's an issue of practicality or we'll burn up and die.

[ also totally practical: flopping down on the floor like a dead starfish. ]
