I took a deep breath, "well here's the best one I got. Do you want to hear a joke about masonry?"

"Sure, please do."

"I'm, still working on it."

Just as I am contemplating how I was going to get out of this, Kuumou, began to snicker and snort, before breaking out into a laugh.

After a few moments she regained her composure before saying, "that is the absolute worst joke I've ever heard, yet it was so bad I could not help but laugh. Well done King of Bryeormia," Kuumou continued to chuckle to herself for a few more moments.

I let out a sigh of relief, I feel like at the end of everything if I'm not already dead I'll have a head full of grey hairs.
