[log] and we'll learn politics and some new party tricks

[apostatised]

New York is as easy to get to as about anywhere is when your main method of getting around is teleportation (every time he uses the pinpoint, Martel puts 'stables' higher on his mental priority list of necessary projects). He doesn't even argue the point about changing his clothes for the outing, even if he does spend altogether too much time fastidiously pulling at his cuffs and fixing his collar.

All in good time, he ushers Candice into the 'establishment' Ethan gave him details of, standing out about as much as a 6'3" man of military and noble bearing with long white hair tends to regardless of what he's dressed in.

"Ah, a traditionalist." He offers a toast.

Martel is willing to concede (if only to himself) that he probably had that coming. He tips his glass obligingly for the toast. "We have ourselves a while yet of heavenly bodies, then."

(Hit him, Candice.)

She does, totally casually, as if she's very used to doing this. "Only traditional in some ways. Others aren't so practical."

"Tradition is good when it suits," he says, a little... openly. Shrugs.

"And a nuisance when it doesn't," Martel finishes, pleasantly.

"That," she says, decisively, "was the most difficult part of Catholicism."

She dealt with the repression okay (in as much as repression is ever okay), but all those restrictions in times of crisis? Pain in the ass.

"...was?"

Oh, but the man... is quick on some things.

"Gods bless the adaptable," Martel comments neutrally.

"I'm sure it's still a part of Catholicism, for those who adhere to its rules more thoroughly," Candice smiles, "To be more accurate."
