This is Kyna. You should just text me if you actually want me to answer.

Do you at least get to do recon?

[evocation]

[She makes a face, though he might not be able to see it with the way she's leaning against him.]

Not really.

[Her fingers catch the bottom hem of his shirt and she starts to toy with it absently.]

There's this woman, Panna? She's the one that gives assigns us jobs, but she doesn't really tell us much about the crap we might run into. It's kind of shitty.

[hardwearing]

I hate improvising.

[ Kyna's mentioned Panna before, and Wash doesn't think he'd like her much. ]

But you've always pulled through, right?

[evocation]

Yeah. I mean, we've totally almost died because she didn't know or didn't care that we were going to run into something fucked up.

[She shrugs.]

They don't pay us enough.

[hardwearing]

Ask for more. Or will you just lose the work?

[evocation]

I have. I don't know. Panna's Harlan's girlfriend, so I can't get too shitty with her, you know?

[hardwearing]

Wouldn't that be more incentive for her to give you details? Wanting him safe?

[evocation]

You'd think so, right? But she's... weird. She makes me uncomfortable, but she's a necromancer, so. You know.

[hardwearing]

I don't know, actually.

[evocation]

Oh, uh...

[She looks up at him, or sort of does with her cheek still resting against him.]

Necromancers can bring people back to life. I mean, that's not always bad, and some necromancy spells are pretty awesome, but some of them are... Kind of fucked up. Like, resurrecting the dead and using them as servants, or stealing people's souls as they die. Shit like that.

[hardwearing]

...would she actually do that kind of thing with it? Stealing souls.

[evocation]

No. Probably not.

[But then, considering some of the things Panna has done, Kyna can't rule that out completely.]

Jesus. Maybe I should just quit.

[hardwearing]

Could you guys find work if you went off on your own?
