There are many children here, and others are very young.
[Because like. There's the one-year-old and the three-month-old and whatever. There's just a lot.]
Of course, they have an excuse for short-sightedness -- they see the problem in front of them, and jump to meet it. Unfortunately, some of the older ones seem to have similar issues. If you look at how the trial has conducted itself week to week... then you can see how this state of affairs came to be.
[It's chaos. It's just utter chaos; entertaining chaos, but well. Here they are.]
I wonder what happens, once there aren't enough of us left to be divided appropriately.
It'll be a bloodbath of the divine kind, I'll tell you that much. I don't intend on being on the wrong end of that division. That's one reason why I need you back next week. You are coming back, aren't you?
I would say we're dipping our toes in already. Once something like this has started -- just like the start of this game -- once first blood has been drawn, it's no longer so easy to take it back. This is a turning point, my king.
[Does she mean that? It flows easily enough.]
But you are also asking me to take a risk. The fewer followers a god has, the more likely it is for us to be targeted. Quite the conundrum.
Because without me, who's going to provide so many helpful items? Not to mention, I haven't been a point of contention. On one hand, I'm struggling to make allies, but at the very least I haven't caused any negative attention, either. I'm an underestimated asset. Soon, I'll have to change that opinion in order to win, but for now...they'd be stupid to let me fall below one follower.

[She studies him for a moment. Is she ever going to ask his name. Call-out to myself for always forgetting introductions. Forever.]
You still have some confidence. What drives it?
