[Iona bounces on her feet and claps her hands together relieved and admiring Thomas all at once.]

Awesome! I'm so glad you're helping out!

[She's excited at the prospect of this whole venture working out for once. Maybe not without a hitch or two, but it's gonna work.

Speaking of.]

Ah. She moved.

[It's true- the painted lady has retreated and in her place is a brunette instead.]

See, she's kind of a sore loser whenever her weirdo spider vibes don't work. [Iona's wiggling her fingers in front of her face to emphasize this. Animated girl, this one.]

So now she'll find another painting, blend in and try on another person.
