Lily covers her mouth with a hand, to stop herself from making a snide comment that wouldn't endear her to Grokkun. She coughs a little to cover for it. The sheep metaphor was just a little too accurate in her mind, but was the flock getting cleansed or fleeced? And good Gods! That symbol of gold? How petty and ostentatious was that? How many meals for the poor and hungry could that gold have bought? How many healings would it have paid for?
Maybe Johan's deific heart was in the right place, but his followers seemed to her like they were mucking things up a bit. Of course, Johan allowed it, but even Lily had to admit to herself...if she were god, and people were building HER gold temples, she'd probably let them. It'd probably be pretty nice...as long as you didn't ponder inconvenient questions like, 'if we have this gold, who doesn't?'
Having mastered herself, she lowers her hand and schools her face to stillness. Hopefully Grokkun would find what he needed to know quickly...
