[PQ] In What Distant Deeps

While Ingrid obviously had no fucking clue what was going on with the magic animal feely bond, she did notice Amalia's glare. Well... fuck, she thought. Ingrid had hoped to be on good terms with the woman who'd received a book (and apparently a shield) from Safrin, but where Zariah was concerned, a blessing from Death himself outweighed Amalia's disdain. Plus, the owl-woman didn't seem to care for any of Ingrid's shitty jokes, so she probably didn't have a chance to start out with.

Luckily for Ingrid, Jigano was a more forgiving audience, lobbing a pun right back at her as he helped her cross the cave-in. "That one seems a bit unpolished compared to your other gems, but I’ll granite you points for effort, at least.”
"Really? Fuck. I shale have to do better next time," she replied. "And, uh, thank you," she added.

She followed the others to the fork in the cave and nodded in agreement when Jigano relayed that the power couple wanted to go right.
