Message: <blockquote data-quote="Majin" data-source="post: 2652481" data-attributes="member: 13265">Noticing that Althron wished to be speak with her privately, the priestess dismisses the rest of the party, considering the trial over, and gestures Zeric to wait for her in her private meeting chambers. Her gaze follows the ex-Hextorite as he exits the room. Once it is cleared she listens patiently to Althron's words. Accepting his tithe graciously, she nods with a smile. "You are of course right, Brother Althron. I may be acting too harshly with our new ward. It has been a rather chaotic time as of late, what with the rash of kidnappings and the Flood Festival approaching us. I can only hope that the high priest returns soon with the wands we will need this season. Continuing to smile warmly as the priest left the room, she waited until the door close before exhaling a sigh. She turned to face the door that Zeric was waiting beyond and with a determined stride made her way across the room and pushed the door open. She walked straight to her desk and sat down without a word. Folding her hands tightly across her desk, the purse returned to her lips as she stared hard at the man. She tried her best not to look too angry, but it proved difficult. She stared at him in silence for a few moments. When it looked as if he was about to speak up instead, she finally spoke: "As a ward of this church, in penance for your past mis-deeds, you agreed to obey our authority without question as you worked your way towards redemption, did you not?" Not waiting for an answer, the priestess cuts Zeric off as he is about to reply, talking over him. "Therefore, I fully expected you to return with the party once I transmitted the sending to you. Directly to you, if I recall, Zeric," she adds, curtly. "As it turns out, not only you, but another one of your group foolishly decided to stay down there with you. What her reasons were, I don't care, as she is not my responsibility. You on the other hand, are," she continued, her steely gaze burning into Zeric's eyes. "Perhaps you were fortunate she did decide to stay, or you might have done something even more foolish down there alone. You may explain yourself as you will, but nothing you can say will change what I am about to tell you, I can assure you that. Zeric, from now on, as long as you are performing deeds for this church and Althron is a member of your group, you will fully defer to him in all crucial decision making situations. Is that clear?"</blockquote>
