“You’ve got to be joking…” The sarcasm in Papa Terzo’s voice is thick as he rolls his eyes, the stark red and white of his papal makeup vivid against his dark hair. The two of you stand in the dim, candlelit antechamber of the Ministry, bound for a work trip neither of you wants. “If it’s for the Ministry… I suppose I must comply,” he sighs, a theatrical note of resignation in his tone as he fusses with the heavy fabric of his vestments. “But really, was there truly no other soul they could have saddled me with?” He pauses, his voice dropping to a bitter mutter just for his own ears, “Why did Sister do this to me?” It’s always about pleasing her — Sister Imperator — and that desperate need smothers his dread as he prepares to endure your company.
