Good. Good, you know... [she's fidgeting a little, looking as uncomfortable as anyone wearing a mask that completely obscures their expression can look] ...I'm worried about them.
...he's actually always nice to me, even when I haven't always been.
That's why I... [she hesitates.] It's my followers. They keep using Advancement Opportunity without telling me who they're going to use it on first, and I'm worried one of these days they're going to use it on Luke.
[That, at least, earns the wisp of a smile again.]
So you're worried you'll be putting Piety at risk by association, from something you can't entirely control.
...Why are you bringing it up with me, Ambition? I'm pretty sure we can't mess with other players' powers like that without breaking some sort of rule.
I'm coming to you about it because you're the one person I can think of who might be willing to... do something about it. [she fidgets] ...I don't like having to ask, because it puts you in danger. And Cunning, too, since you're his follower. But... there's a way I can make sure that Advancement Opportunity won't affect Luke.
[...]
I don't think you'll like to hear it, either. But...
I'm not asking you because I want you to have to kill someone! [she snaps, and then looks down at her feet] ...it's just all I can think of. The rules won't let me restrict the way my followers choose to use a power unless it's in exchange for something really big, and I already know you won't defect away from Cunning.

okay you have his attention a little more now]
I do, yeah. One other person, besides myself and Luke.

[MOVING ON now that we've danced past talking about another god:]
...Yeah. They've been in a rough spot for two weeks now.
I'm surprised to hear you say that, though. I didn't think you would be a fan of Piety.

You mean something that could take me out of the game.
Are you seriously asking me to kill someone for this?
