[color=a36209]"A charmed existence,"[/color] came the lilting greeting from over Sasha C. McKenzie's shoulder, [color=a36209]"is church shorthand to be used when discussing lives such as yours. The more fortunate among us in the clergy live them, too. Lives removed of all fears and all desires, save the desire to grow closer to God. Once it was different, so I hear, but in this day and age much of my Church's advice is dedicated to charming the existences of others. Yours, however, consists entirely of others bringing you caffeine and getting to slave away on the day-to-day minutiae of your mech. Once again, Sasha McKenzie, I fear I must admit that the Lord is powerless to help you."[/color]

Her gaze drifted over to her own HFV, the Lion of Judah, and then back to the giddy technician. Two enormous emerald eyes commenced to rolling. Though it was her job as [i]OSDT Jannah's[/i] chaplain to provide spiritual comfort and perform religious ceremonies without bias, she nonetheless spent the majority of her time as counsel for the Paper Tiger crew, having volunteered as a member herself after the original pilot left X Corp on maternity leave. The extra time with the trio of madmen, time mostly spent as an outsider both ideologically and chronologically, had allowed her a unique view of the...idiosyncrasies of each member. And though many on the crew would no doubt share a different opinion, Sasha C. McKenzie, more pixie of legend than human girl, was no doubt the biggest handful to deal with.

[color=a36209]"You forgot to rinse your hands again."[/color]

Emerald eyes rolled again in a show of good nature.
