"But of course! Hell, given enoigh inspiration, I could write volumes to your name!"
Back to hugging her, and tightening the grip to.
"I just need as much material as you can give me.~"
"Curiosity is one of humanity's primary virtues. And as a writer myself, curiosity is what allows me to discover more things to write about! Why, I'm sure a story about the beloved cat priest would be a best seller."
Good thing none of her retainers are around right now!
"Oh, I know! Temple rules are pretty strict, I can tell. But I wonder, surely you don't go to sleep with the thing still on!"
She's tapping the "mouth" of the mask with her index.
"Don't get me wrong, I love it. Amazing craft. But the curiosity is eating at me!"
"I'm sure you know I can't just go walking around without my mask...it's important to wear."
Though...if Dante managed to get her to take it off in a private setting, perhaps that'd be another story.
"What, of a legendary trinket? No, it was merely a mundane comparison for the sake of jest. You are much more than that. So many mysteries crammed in a single, adorable priest."
Chin resting on her shoulder, tilting her head.
"Like whatever's behind that mask."
"I'm not sure I'd...quite work like that!"
But it's an interesting thought, that's for sure. Makes her ponder it for a moment...
"A-Anyway. Maybe I do give off...that sort of vibe?"
And Dante is still clinging to her, even though her attempt has stopped.
"You bring to mind the legend of an all-powerful sword. I wonder, what kind of blessing would you grant to the one that manages to make you move."
Oh-? In the end, Orchel hardly moves at all...yet perhaps Dante would learn one thing in the process.
She is still soft to the touch. She feels like anyone would.
"Ah...I...suppose it's fine!"
First thing in schedule is to wrap her arms around her waist!
An intrusive hug at first, but then... she tries really, really hard to lift her up, groaning and whimpering with no avail.
"Like a stone statue falls short!"
She's wheezing
"Sorry. I just had to try my hand at it"
