Exactly so. Who, I ask you, maintains her coquettish sang-froid after confronting her inner demons? And, moreover, has the emotional wherewithal to twit her rescuer?

Welcome to my webcomic, Sarcantasy.
You can read it here:
I'm just amused how Lily is considered to be without a conscience and emotionally uncaring of the rest of the Conspiracy... when the exact same behavior in Lia is a sign of restraint.

Is taking 20 on this check OK, incidentally? My Open Lock has sucked since I rebuilt as a Scout, and I don't want to burn charges of the Gloves if I don't have to.
