. . . thank you , piers . [ she was actively trying to think of why romania is important , but that kinda broke her concentration .]

you . . . you said i can't use the pen ! how is that -- nevermind ! that's not important right now -!

i don't need to use the pen .

that's a good . . . good idea , buddy .

okay . . . okay ! uhm . . . [ she's freaking the fuck out don't even worry about it .] i guess just do as he asks ??

. . . never mind . that tracks . maybe just . . . don't reach into his pockets though ?

great . piers can color and the rest of us can deal with a potential murder . [ fun .]

oh -- oh my god . oh my god ?? [ uhhh .] [ what do you even DO in this situation , grace !!]

interesting . [ she snorts after a second .] i think he would be furious if we called him a mold man .

interesting . [ biting her lip for a moment while she thinks .] what about dulvey ?

[ rolling her eyes .] ask away , then .

[ she considers for a long moment .] . . . what changed ? when he got beheaded ?

i do not 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 for him . besides , those files mean nothing about him . they're about my mother's work . i doubt he'll give a damn about what's written in them .

[ greeeat .] fine . fine ! believe as you please . [ inhaling softly .] i still need files from him anyways .

. . . oh my god , you are serious . he works with dr . gideon !

burying a presumed dead man alive . [ she needs him to stop reading her like a fucking book but you know !]

i -- piers , you cannot be serious .

grace , please . i'm desperate .

piers , i need you to genuinely look at me and decide that i could -- within reason -- make a feasible attempt on zeno's life .

beheading didn't work , there's probably something else we can try .

i just wanted him dead because he -- [ pausing . and then clearing her throat .] well . you know . he's done terrible things . [ really saved that one .]

no ! no one mentioned that he got his head divorced from his body -- what the hell ? how would you even start smaller with that ?

[ face in hands ] please just . he needs to leave .

. . . he 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 ?

[ sighing .] okay , don't -- stop .

not with that attitude .

[ >:| ] grace , i think we're gonna have to kill that guy .

oh my gooood . goddammit .

i . think you should try to fix wesker .

no . because , presumably , he will no longer be trinket sized . and then i will be in trouble .

i don't want to pinch him ! he's terrifying !

do NOT throw me under the bus like that .

. . . i am not pinching the bioterrorist's cheeks .

i think you've brought that on yourself , piers .

oh wait uh -- shit . she most certainly does not fall easily for april fool's jokes .

cottagecore robin hood . . .

@praedulcis.bsky.social Doesn’t care. Kind of annoying. Why is she so obsessed with her boss? Get a hobby and quit sneaking around like a cottagecore robin hood.

right , because we got distracted . it happens . regardless , my point still stands . i enjoy helping you .

if i were praying on your downfall , i would not offer to help you bake your desserts .

. . . i think she does want to see you happy . i want to see you happy .

let her be happy with him !

oh right — it is the first of april . . . not very good at the little pranks , though .

stretching with a yawn .

[ trying to decide what she's going to eat for dinner .]

/ / playing with da new ps5 so i'm gonna get slow

[ she does not want to build muscle , but she does appreciate learning new things !] [ still .] cut carlos some slack . he's good to her , i promise .

[ she can't hold it in anymore .] [ laughing quite a bit .] because it's fun to tease you !

would they have been tasteful ? [ 🤔 ]

ah . shame .

but not an empty calorie , right ?
