Eyes widening, Safrin reaches out to pluck the earrings from Jude's palm. "These are beautiful!" Had the boy's mother not been who she was (or rather, aligned as she was), Safrin might have suggested he gift them to her instead, such were their loveliness. Instead, she rolled them between her fingers, letting the star points glisten. "Darling one, you never need to bring anything to me. Just seeing you will ever be enough." It's a lie as much as it's the gospel truth, and therein lays the conflict for all of Safrin's followers save for those who truly understand the heart of her.
Listening to his request, Safrin nods thoughtfully as he explains the reasoning behind such a gift. "A truly ingenious idea. What use is a silver tongue if your voice is never heard? But first, perhaps a bit of practice is in order?"
Jude has been given a quest! He must
1. Use his words to help
2. Use his words to hurt
3. Use a lie to help
4. Complete a thread with someone else where he doesn't speak to understand the value of having a voice.

'till you do. 'till it's true.
