Such blunt and crude suspicions cause Anina to hike up a mountain of anxiety. She cringes by contorting her body in angles not possible by the average human being before calming down, "H-HUH?! O-Of course, of course--PURELY coincidental, all b-by chance, i-it was f-fate that destined it, d-destiny too, f-fate and destiny! DESTINY! T-TITANFALL! S-SUNSET OVERDRIVE--oh god, a-am I rambling again--HOLD UP! BOATS. BOATS. BOATS!"
"Boats? They freaking sell boats here?"
"BOATS! T-That's why I'm here...--BOATS! S-See, my darling h-husband, I-I have to pick up a boat, f-for the guild, f-for scaphing! N-New torture device...y-you know what scaphing is, r-right?"
You're at a lost for words. At first you think your twitchy wife is mispronouncing something but it turns out she's not, you pretend to be the big guy on campus, "Uh... Well, I know, but Serena DOESN'T so why don't you go ahead and explain--"
Serena raises her free hand.
"Scaphism is an act of old world torture in which the intended victim is strapped to a boat on a lake and fed-slash-doused in gargantuan amounts of milk and honey. The mixture of these two ingredients causes the victim to be extremely sweet and delectable to nearby wildlife, who proceed to consume the victim's flesh, that is unless dehydration or starvation kills him first. These dousing treatments would be repeated daily to ensure that the victim's body is never not-tender, and to even stall out the victim's death to ensure maximum punishment. Special treatment when dousing is especially focused on where the victim has holes on their bodies. Once the victim dies, the remains of his body are left out for a few more days before it's disposed of."
Wow.
She fucking explained it without pausing to take a breath. That's more bizarre than anything Anina's done, today anyway.
A) Acquire a sudden craving for milk.
B) "I suddenly feel very, very itchy."
