Arialla nodded. Yes, she could ask Ludo for direction -- if she was certain she wanted to devote herself to thwarting the Voice. Otherwise, she doubted it would be wise to ask a god for a task that she didn't intend to follow through on. Then again, wasn't that what she'd done with Safrin? She really needed to feel more certain of her path before she asked a god for aid on it. "I told Safrin I would speak to her again after LongNight ... Though I suppose that means I'd better arrange another offering."
As her companion spoke, Arialla felt her lips draw back in disgust and horror. "That's awful. I have to say, the more I learn about the Voice, the worse she seems -- and she started out pretty low in my estimation."
please don't take my sunshine away
