Well that was fun.
Is fun. There are stragglers with opinions, it seems.

Do you really care what these people organize or is it all purely hypothetical?
I wanted to know if I ought to care, and who else cared, among other things. Some were rather more thoughtful than I'd imagined they'd be.
Personally, I’m enjoying the reprieve from having a meaningful existence, or thoughts that matter.
Not to be dramatic.

[ There's a pause. ]
Yes, well. Sorry to ruin it.

You asked for my take.
Riftwatch's natives have been remarkably charitable towards our kind, and know the biases of their own people.

And you don't believe there's any cause to-- act, within the confines of their charity?

I hadn’t thought about it until you posed the question.
But no, I don’t think so. We’re visitors, here. Our struggles are measured in months; the ruling Chantry measures its strife in centuries, and has an usurper god on its doorstep.
The polled perspective is useful to have.

Mm.
There are a few who think we could do something to sort out our affairs and come to the table, and at least one and a half who sounded like they weren't just offering me scraps of reassurance.

Then you should move forward. I'll support you in whatever you decide to do.
Right. Good. Thank you.

Dependent, I think, on the lesser powers that be. I thought the next move might be to inquire with the Diplomacy Division head.

You're welcome.
You should make an outline for yourself before you do.

A Chantry sister had some interesting suggestions, although I expect a little hindered by her being rather new to this outfit.
Pious Sister Sara is full of useful advice.
You're more likely to be hindered by her being new to the idea of tact.

Well, she did think to draw me into private correspondence before conveying more candid views, so that's something.
You're familiar?

Passingly, [ Richard lies. ] She has Carta connections and understands discretion by necessity.
If you meet with her you’ll get the picture.

Oh, [ surprised, but pleasantly. ] How useful. She seems very practical.
She'd recommended a dialogue with her superior, a Revered Mother. A woman of some influence, at least, possibly likely to take up unconventional causes for her own political gain.
What I doubt is that any work done there would somehow override the Chantry negotiations that've already gone on, but. It's hard to know what might wind up useful.

The Chantry will expect you to pay lip service to their god.
--yes.

I'm speaking mainly in the event of having no choice but to deal with them. Let's keep our options open for running into the wilderness.
How is that, for you?

We could just cut off our hands and run to the nearest city instead.
[ The wilderness is too cold, here. ]
How do you mean.

That none of the belief systems here seem to resemble any of ours, and your being. Religious.
