[I hate this, but she's honestly a little charmed by him just declaring them friends. But also, none trust. Crossing her arms and coming inside, but just waiting near the door.]
Time will tell. It is more desirable to be a friend of the Daughter of the Ninth than a foe, but my regard is not earned so easily.
[This raw shit is slightly undermined by how much she's hovering uncomfortably like a dorky freshman invited back to the dorm of a much cooler boy.]

[Oh, sorry, that was raw as hell but also extremely funny coming from someone who has just agreed to do funny voices for a reading. Molly just is immediately tearing the place apart to look for stuff, poking his head into doors and under tables and couches like a kid in a candy store.]
You must make many friends when you go around saying things like that to all of your new ones. [Pausing to look at her outfit though.] You're right though, I would never want to be on your bad side.

[She doesn't make friends! It's fine. Who wants friends. Just watching him, still insanely awkward.]
Correct. But I suspect collaboration will be necessary to complete this challenge. There's no reason we can't cooperate.

Nothing wrong with a few collaborators!
[Finally finding the closet and ripping it open-]
Ah! Excellent. I was worried about this.
[Pulling out a truly extravagent coat - mostly red, but covered in shiny jewels and beads in intricate patterns and symbols. Someone has clearly taken a lot of time to make this thing.]
I was hoping it wasn't all the bones thing. Which, I do like as a look for you, but it isn't exactly me.

No, they've taken care to allow us our preferred clothes.
[She doesn't compliment the coat. Rude. Unforgivable.]
Aside from arrival.

Ah -
[Frowning a little about the blood everywhere. That seems bad.]
There's laundry, down the hall.

There's laundry, down the hall.
[Probably! But there's nothing that seems to match it on his body. So everything is okay, most likely. Just putting it on, who cares.]
Later, later, it doesn't matter that much. I'll find another.
[Sitting down so he can yank some truly obnoxious thigh-high boots on. And they're like real fantasy ones with no zippers too. Awful.]
. . . You said your surname was Nonagen-- Nona something?

[Well, she's not going to ask about it if he doesn't want to bring it up.]
Nonagesimus.
Nonagesimus.
Nonagon? It means nine-sided. It sounds like a Ninth House name to me, but I don't know anyone who uses it.
Why?
Why?
[Hmm.]
. . . Yes. The name Nonagesimus merely marks me as a member of the Ninth House. No relationship to your Nonagon, I imagine, besides the root of the word.

Seems as if they'd be useful to have, no?
[Just in case.]
Then again, it isn't as if magic seems to be working. I considered Charming someone earlier, but it doesn't really have any effect. Fortunately, you were plenty charming on your own.

[Making a face at him. Gross.]
No, it isn't. That was covered in the welcome message. I do have a sword with me, but you don't want it. It's very cursed.

It's cursed. It's a repulsive sword.
[She scowls a little just thinking about that nasty sword.]
You want nothing to do with it, trust me. Just thinking about it makes me feel ill.

No!
[Defensively, because she loves her terrible cursed sword. And then backtracking, a little embarrassed.]
It doesn't matter. Did you want me to read you the Welcome Message, or not?

Ah! Okay!
[WHY SO DEFENSIVE. Anyway. Enjoy your terrible cursed sword. Molly is immediately yeeting himself onto the couch, legs crossed and tail thwapping on the cushions like a very excited animal.]
I am extremely ready. Remember! Voices. Really sell it to me.

[She. She doesn't really sell it to him. But she does try. She does an awkward, slightly higher pitched voice for Lust, a slower voice for Sloth, a more confident voice for Greed, a somewhat more posh voice for pride, and - here she starts running out of voice ideas? So Envy is just her normal voice, and Despair her voice but softer. They all sound. Very the same, and she definitely doesn't sound confident at all in doing them. But that kind of makes it more funny?
. . . If he laughs even once, she stops to glare at him.]

[He does not laugh! He listens, rapt attention, leaning forward on his hands like someone watching a very intriguing show and then when she has finished he politely claps enthusiastically!!!!]
That! Was! Excellent! Amazing! Stupendous! If you're ever in need of a second career, I'm certain we could find you a place with the carnival. I could watch hours of that.

[Making the worst, sourest face at him.]
It was not. Don't patronize me. Did you at least listen to the information?
