That's what I was afraid of, but I suppose we have been getting off fairly lightly, these trials. It'd only make sense that whatever the rules are, they'll start being enforced more strictly, and in the proper spirit. These things can't always be that easy, after all...

You really were telling the truth at the trial when you said you weren't giving up, huh. It might not mean much coming from me, all things considered, but there are still things such as senseless self-sacrifice.
...Anyway. I might not be aligned with you, but I can't say I bear you any ill will- even in the spirit of this competition.
[Piety sighs. There's only so much he can say now about his actions at the trial, their implications, and what it could mean for the future of his team.]
Thank you. Even that sort of gentle support means a lot to me. I hope you and your brother both will be able to remain safe for the remainder of the competition.
[ I say, in a backtag, when we all know he's deda. ]
... You say that, by the way, but what about yourself? Fortune is vulnerable this week, she's said, and she has a statue in the courtyard now too. Is it expected that the gods take part in this as competitors too?
[ 'Will you all be all right,' in not as many words. ]
