I mean, I know Lilith isn't, like, literally-- I mean, she's kind of like your sister, kind of thing? Sort of? I mean, I know it's silly, since the only blessing I really need is yours, seein' as how it's your life, and all, but--
-- it's just this dumb Earth thing and it's dumb, I know, but I figured if I was doing this, I was gonna-- mmf?
[ -- okay. She has a much better idea than he does, he thinks, but that's not difficult, seeing as his plan of action was babble until the cows come home. He can't help laughing again, but he does as directed.
