"We can only imagine what they might say. Alas, we were not looking at what he said, but the thoughts and policies those words represented. The meaning behind them if you will. At any rate, we do not believe we have at the pleasure. We are Brother Ansel, and you?"
He holds out a hand, and then stops, looking lost in thought, before speaking again
"And again, we do not quite understand what you mean by 'outsider' or 'elder thing'. To us, he is but our God, such as the gods worshiped by many religions around this world."
Alec [M:118:6:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=cs&thread=412&page=1#1242]"I see," said the blind man to the deaf lady.[0:Wandering the stacks.][1:Present and accounted for.]
"It's technical jargon," he says, giving a good natured smile and waving his hand in front of his face, before taking several steps forward, taking Ansel's hand, pumping it twice, and giving a short bow. "Alecsander Greenwood, head of the local branch of the Noctis Venator." Straightening, he shrugs, before his face falls, and he sighs. "And you really do not want to imagine what they say. I might be interested in containing the more vile forms of magic, but I don't take kindly to bigotry."
Come in under the shadow of this red rock, and I will show you something different from either your shadow at morning, striding behind you, or your shadow at evening, rising to meet you. I shall show you fear in a handful of dust.
"Trust us brother Alecsander, we understand what you mean quite clearly. We have dealt with bigots before. It happens when you are a member of what many call a 'cult'. At any rate, we are surprised to find not one, but two members of the Noctis Venator at our church today. Might we assume you have come for the same reasons? To learn and understand?"
I cannot speak for my colleague, but those are my intentions. He gave Alec a sort of warning glance, rocking on the balls of his heels.
I do feel as though we should leave the Brother to their ceremony.
