“Still, doctrinal differences aside, we need to report to these developments to the main temple, as well as request the inquisition sends a mission here,” Eva suggested, repeating what Mykel had said earlier. “The inquisition will be able to sort through all this more clearly than any of us.”
“I’d like to escort Zamira to the temple myself,” Lily offered, unconsciously reaching for her hand, “I actually intend to pose the idea to Furtan personally this evening. Did you want to join us, Cassandra and Melinda?”
“I don’t know that it would be such a good idea for all of us priests to leave at the same time,” Melinda argued. “But if you bring a mission here, we can study the dogma under them while we undertake our duties.”
“And they can decide whether feeding is a sacrament or sacrilege,” Eva pointed out, suddenly curious herself. She and Mykel never did it as an act of religious expression, and she didn’t see Mykel as fallen. Still, the way they did it might have been different, but it could still be an affront to the Goddess. Eva just hoped not.
“By the way, Lord Furtan does invite you all to stay at his manor while you remain in town. Perhaps observing him up close will further convince you of his authenticity?” Zamira invited, motioning with one hand while the other clasped with Lily’s.
Cuthbert nodded at the plan, pushing his own plate aside. “Are they still held by the Veiled Whisperer? I thought I heard tale of a human uprising some time back. Not that it matters all that much to us. Still, if the thieves got that far, could take a long time to find the skull. Months, certainly. Years, possibly.” Though, as he spoke, he considered that Verrier wouldn’t see it as all that long. And, further, he didn’t mind the thought of spending all that time together. Even looked forward to it.
Before he could continue, another couple entered the tavern, hand in hand and laughing. Immediately familiar, to Clara at least. Willam, and his wife Nereis. The mother of his child, (since Clara had been unable to conceive) who was sent to be Monsford’s sole inquisitor.
If he wanted, Cuthbert could have listened into their conversation. There was certainly a temptation to do so, feeding the fear that all his spouses had moved on past him. But he pushed the thought away, turning his attention back towards Vera, “Why don’t we had up to the room? It’s been a long day.”
