The priest, father Rolan, seemed to be an excellent listener and did not interrupt even once during Miuiki's tale.  Though for all of it, she never had the sense that he was bored or wasn't listening.  He seemed to nod or shift in his seat slightly occasionally.  Miyuki might even notice a bulge in his robes that spoke of a great interest in the more lewd parts of her tale.  He smiled at the part of the story that were amusing, nodded at decisions she'd made that seemed wise, and frowned at some aspects that seemed unfavorable to him.  He smiled the most broadly when she finished her tale with<em> "...it feels like making the leap to come here is really worth it."</em><br/><br/>He sat for a short while, Miyuki realized that he was waiting to make sure her tale was done.  He was, it appeared, an excellent listener.  He sat back in the sturdy wooden chair and blew out a breath of air through his lips before laughing.<strong>"Well miss Miyuki that is quite the tale.  I must say your own temple sounds quite fascinating.  I've never heard of it, and you say you don't know it's location in regards to the faded lands nor Laelith?  Many scholars have said that our world is much bigger than we know.  I'm not an expert on such things, but apparently there are some copies of ancient maps that show the entirety of our world, existing from ancient civilizations that predate the fading.  But they are convinced that, because of math, the movements of the stars and the moon, and so on, that our world is much bigger than even the ancient map makers thought it to be.  I'm sure that there are some scholars who would spend days, weeks even, paying you to tell them everything you knew of your homeland."</strong><br/><br/>He spread his hands broadly and said,<strong> "I for one am not one of those scholars however." </strong>He laughed again and it was a good natured laugh.  When he threw his head back, Miyuki could see clearly the bulge in his robes between thick thighs, but he seemed to make no mention of it.<strong> "I am however a devout priest of Pelor, and feel it necessary to explain the all temple to you.  Your friend Paladin Etron has petitioned the council several times to try to get Shoni recognized as a goddess able to be worshiped here in the all temple.  I'd say he's gotten rather salty about his little religion, but the High Lord Protectorate has set up very strict rules about what constitutes an actual religion and what doesn't here in Laelith.  A petition signed by no less than four percent of the city's registered residents, not transients, is all it takes.  But since Shoni, and her dark sister Ah'mie, are worshiped primarily by the whores of our city, they have little interest in putting their true names to paper for the cause." </strong>Miyuki thought about the size of the city and figured there was easily ten thousand people inside these walls, probably much higher.  Even if her number was right, finding four hundred people to sign off on a goddess of sex and lust might be a task, and likely it was quite a bit higher.<br/><strong><br/>"But once a religion is recognized, it can petition the council for equal shares of time in the all temple.  Pelor being the most widely worshiped in the city, we had our first choice of times of worship, dawn, midday, and dusk, every day.  I'd love to see you as one of the worshipers for our services.  Though it sounds like you may say your prayers to your old gods from home."</strong>He shifted forwards and placing his elbows on his knees asked,<strong> "But as enjoyable a conversation as this was, I should probably return to my duties soon.  Unless there's anything else you'd like to know, or anything else I, or the sunfather, can do for you."</strong>
