Gideon has the vocab of an English major EXCEPT when it comes to necromancy
omg, of course she does! There’s no way she’d give Harrow the satisfaction of acknowledging that she knows what she’s talking about. It’s like those guys who talk about ‘sportsball’ when you know for a fact they were first team rugby in high school.
Gideon: bone gunge
Harrow:
Every time Gideon uses the correct name for a bone I’m like ‘I bet she hates that she knows that’
Gideon knows exactly what she’s doing:
She knows enough about skeletons and reanimation to see that the servants are incredibly well animated, but not quite enough to determine the truth (to be fair even Harrow wasn’t 100% certain). And she knows enough about
necromantic theory
to be able to teach it, even without the ability or talent or flaw or whatever is required to be able to actually use it.
PLUS! when they are fighting the construct, Harrow gives her the names of the bones to hit as they go through the sequence - and Gideon follows along perfectly… which means that Harrow is fully aware Gideon is just pretending not to know things in order to annoy her.
Gideon Nav, the calculatedly trolling pseudo-himbo. Again and again, just when it seemed maximum sexy had been achieved…
“Average woman eats 7 lbs of lipstick in her lifetime” factoid actually just statistical error. Gideon Nav, who eats 2 oz of paint off Harrow’s mouth every day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
[ID: A cross stitch of Gideon Nav from The Locked Tomb as a a skeleton. She has short red hair and wears sunglasses. She dabs. A sword is behind her. Text next to her says, “See you on the flipside, sugarlips.” End ID]
