On the other side, Taylar walks by decorative tapestries and wooden art all designed specifically for the Religion of Light. He finds nothing at all that could be deemed nefarious. Coming to the far left corner from the entrance, he sees no one but can hear the faint voices of people. The voices seem to belong to adolescents of both genders, but nothing of the tones indicates any distress. While standing there, pretending to be interested in a wooden homage piece, a teen boy comes toward him through the egress point where he is listening. The boy is Markidian and dressed in a simple manner indicative of a clergy in training. He politely excuses himself to walk by and begins wiping the benches with a cloth.
Astarte instinctively obscures her presence before she encroaches, enhancing her hearing as she takes a seat, seemingly unnoticed. The conversation is in Markidian but, while her proficiency has increased, she is far from fluent. As best she can determine, the elderly woman as recently lost her heartmate and the priest is genuinely comforting her in her loss. The woman thanks the priest and exits the building, nodding at Adisakti as she goes but not noticing Astarte.
The priest turns to address Adisakti and startles momentarily as he glimpses Astarte sitting nearer him for the first time. It is a typical, reflex reaction. Speaking Markidian, of course,the youngish priest introduces himself as Bishop Roquier. His eyes go wide in genuine surprise at the blunt query from Adisakti. "Are you absolutely certain? We did not have the symbol made locally, although I am sure one of the locals could have easily constructed it. It was sent with me from the Cathedral when I received my commission."
With the assuring, the priest thumbs his vesture and scratches his head. "I thank you most graciously for bringing this to my attention. As my duty is here, I will send one of the clergy to see Bishop Plascimon in Outpost to confirm what you have said and see about getting this error corrected. I just cannot see how such a mistake could have been made, coming from the Cathedral. This is very troubling."
Neither Taylar nor Astarte detect any duplicitousness in the man's tone as he speaks. Raven Elk does not sense any change in the man's body chemistry, indicating that he is not under stress.
