Emily is still not as sure as she'd like to be what is going on. The two most plausible possibilities are her initial thought - this is something the Russians have worked up, that she's some sort of experiment - or that she has, in fact, managed to find herself trapped in another world. She's not sure one is substantially better than the other.

She needs a job, though; she doesn't want to stay at an inn any longer than she has to, and she's going to run out of marks sooner than later. Politics, she thinks; she can do the bright young thing, hungry and eager to learn. Bright enough to keep around, not so bright she's much of a threat. A bit Eve Harrington early on without Anne Baxter's significant looks to the camera. And getting a foot in the door is a good opening move in the long game that either reality will mean she needs to play.

But she's not so desperate she won't take her time on picking a likely candidate. In the meantime, she's been poking around St. Brian, finding out what she can without drawing too much notice. She's added Ragamoll to her mental to-do list. Even if speaking it will take a while, the sooner she can comprehend it written and spoken, the better.

"Of course." He's happy to let her lead, he had no particular destination after leaving the library.

"It does rather seem the local pantheon are not some distant unreachable group," he observes. "The people are convinced the gods directly and immediately intercede, from what I've seen."

He considers this. "C would be hard to pull off, I'd think. It would require far too many people in on this conspiracy." There's a flicker of a smile. "People are terrible at secrets. Especially in groups."

There's a thoughtful moment, and then: "...I have to confess, divine beings are a bit beyond my personal experience."
