Salome's the adopted daughter of King Herod Antipas. She's a princess, basically. [k] @??? One day, she fell head over heels for a prophet named Jokanaan, or John the Baptist, depending on who you ask. [k] @??? If she'd just fallen for the guy, that'd be one thing.

[k] @Kriemhild She may not see [&him:her] as Jokanaan right now, but it's[sr]only a matter of time. [k] @Kriemhild And when she does, she won't be able to hold herself back. [k] @Zhang Jue Hmm.
