Message: <blockquote data-quote="Verbatim" data-source="post: 2160021" data-attributes="member: 15549">Ayden watched as the others began leaving heading towards the temple, Sielwoodan's words still echoing in his mind.~If Chasity died here...where is Andreas...could they have forced Chastity and Andreas into a situation they knew they could not escape from? Uncle, there are so many questions and every one seems to branch off into so many more...~Rising to his feet, Ayden felt tired to the very core of his being and as he looked over at Broddy and Calenthang he envied them both for a moment.~To just be able to grieve for a moment without having to think of what the others might think...~Putting on his still damp cloak and hat, Ayden pushed the doors of the inn open and began walking towards the church of Ilmater. He managed to catch the others as a young acolyte spoke to them about the church wishing to see them and as Sielwoodan arched a questioning eyebrow his way, Ayden stepped forward through the others and walked at the head of the procession next to Sarlis and Teleri.As they reached reached the temple, Ayden tried to remember all he could about the subtleties of the Ilmater faith, as the last thing he wished to do was make a serious mistake during their introductions. Hoping to keep it as simple as possible, Ayden hoped that a greeting and blessing would be enough formalities between them.As both Teleri and Sarlis quickly spoke to the High Priestess, Ayden listened to their words and wondered for a moment if there was truly anything more he needed to add, but another sharp gaze from Sielwoodan made him step forward and lift his gaze to meet that of the Priestess."I must apologize for my lack of a proper greeting Priestess, but it has been many years since I last saw one of Ilmater's clergy in Immersea. However, it has not been as long since I last saw Lady Chastity and another of our companions, Master Andreas. When I last saw them, they were alive and hale helping keep the peace in Orchard Falls, and when I see Lady Chastity now..."Ayden could feel the bitterness and fatigue threatening to creep into his voice, and he knew that pointing fingers to make himself feel better would not help things out any."We were told and have been under the impression that Lady Chastity and Master Andreas were taken under duress by the White Brotherhood and brought here. If our information was wrong and Lady Chastity returned here for another reason, please tell us and ease our minds, but if they have killed her and Master Andreas let us see to their killers first and then we will return to help you as best we can."</blockquote>
