I don't think that you'll be turned away. Merriment and I are good friends...you could even call us allies, in a way.
[Piety's quiet for a moment, thoughtful.]
I hate the thought of any blood being shed, but knowing that someone targeted, someone innocent, may be saved due to your efforts...that's all that either of us could ask for. Tell Merriment that I agreed to your request, that I'm consenting to the loss of a follower for this purpose. I'm sure if there are any objections, that will solidify the change in alliance.

And despite this, please-- call on me if you should need me. I have no intention of abandoning you, regardless of who I may follow.
