[Diana looks paler than usual, visibly shaken. She's doing her best to put on a casual air, but no amount of smiling can really hide the immense terror evident in her eyes.]

So, how long do I have before the angry villagers show up at my door with torches and pitchforks? You are you gonna give me a head start before--

Remember how I said that I would stand between you and the angry villagers?

[diana_abel]

[It's awhile before Diana answers again. She looks pretty exhausted.]

I remember.

[notrosesshadow]

Are you OK?

[diana_abel]

For the moment. Just a little spooked.

[notrosesshadow]

May I ask what happened?

[diana_abel]

[Locked]

I tried to use one of my disciplines on the cultist prisoner. Bigby caught me doing it. He knows about me now.

[notrosesshadow]

And has he tried to do anything to you? Threatened you or anything like that?

[diana_abel]

No. I got him to promise to keep it to himself.

You should be fascinated by me. I'm a medical miracle, Martha. A girl with no spine...

[notrosesshadow]

Spineless girls tend to end up in wheelchairs.

[No she's not going to let you fall into self-pity]

[diana_abel]

Yeah.

[She lets out a short, sharp laugh.]

I think I need to come with a disclosure notice. When people sign up to be my friend, they don't know what they're getting into.

It's a good thing I'm cute.

[notrosesshadow]

Cute? I suppose.

Diana. We all have burdens. Society wouldn't survive if we gave up on others.

[diana_abel]

Yeah. I guess so.

[notrosesshadow]

Just remember... I'll stand in front of pitchforks and tell them all a story instead.

[diana_abel]

One with a happy ending?

[notrosesshadow]

Princess saving and all.

[diana_abel]

My favorite kind of story.
