at present she also has to face the cumbersome task of pulling her mind away from its more unpleasant corners and return to the mundane in addition to a complete lack of consistent timekeeping. Lapis' head tilts gently to the side, her pith helmet sliding along with it, as she runs through what she's already accomplished today.]
