Fwiffo's desperate look got a worried one in reply. Trying to reason with someone obsessed had never been Zelnick's forte.
He had talked the obsessive into doing what he wanted, though, or at least tricked them; how had he done it with the Ilwrath? Oh, right, imitated their gods. He... didn't think that was an option today.
"Ah, if you say so," he said, trying to buy a moment to think. Was this a tactical maneuver, now? He needed to get hold of Fwiffo and back down to the women's block... he called up a mental map of this place. The recreation field would be at the far end of the hallway outside this block, right? If he could cooperate long enough to send Gluttony off in that direction, he could make a dash down the other way.
"All right! Let's go find your Lust," he agreed suddenly, smiling strainedly at Gluttony. "Since you know her best, you should take point, so you'll be able to spot her first. And we should look someplace that's open, so there's nothing in the way of looking for her!"

Oh god, he was an awful liar.
