[ Despite herself, she giggles. Val making jokes she can actually appreciate should probably be illegal. ]
It's not that I like meetings, as much as I like getting things done in an efficient manner. How else would all of the leaders be able to discuss our goals and roles therein? Play hot potato with sending crystals?
Perhaps you can attend one with me, and see how you fare. If it's unbearably boring, then I will only call on you to attend when it's absolutely necessary.
Efficiency. [He says it like a dirty word.] The turnkey of creativity!
[O! The sadness. Val's entire tone would not be out of place at a deathbed.]
Speak nothing of character. I have plenty of it. If I built any more, I would hardly be able to fit through doors. In the interest of this work of ours, I will attempt a meeting. A single meeting. I make no promises of how long I will last at it, and if I should die--truly die, this time--you must promise to conduct my body to Freddie and Jeannot.
I don't think the Inquisition will run on creativity alone. Not well, at least.
But if you truly die, I will do as you ask, you have my word. Only if you truly die though. And I'll be checking. If you fake your death without telling me again, I'll bury you and let you figure out the rest.

And endearing hardships builds character.

[Well.]
Not idly, at least. You must trust me that it was a choice of sheer necessity.
