[ During the first part of Abel's ramble, Ernesto sinks a little more in on himself, trying to hide just a bit more of his body as Abel digs the hole deeper and deeper.

He ruins it a little bit by sitting up by the time Abel gets to his introduction though. ]

Pardon?

[ There's a lot that is said at once, but the part that really hits Ernesto is that this man is apparently a priest. This man who is apparently in so much debt he's afraid a loan shark is going to come for his organs.

Ernesto might not be any kind of devout follower of any religion himself, but there's just something that strikes him as off with that one.

He reins it is pretty quickly though, forcing a smile back onto his face like it's the most natural thing in the world for him (and it kind of is at this point.)

He continues to hold his tail in place, covering himself up instead of reaching out for that air-shake. ]

I didn't expect to meet a holy man in this state either.

[ An awkward laugh to buy him a little time as he decides what name to give Father Abel here, before opting to go with his codename. ]

Sorry about the situation, Father. I didn't exactly want to show up here int his state either. You can call me Tequila though, no title needed.
