Waiting patiently until Adelaide had haphazardly clothed herself she approached the statue when her attention was drawn to it.<br/><br/>"Hmmm, I suppose we need to look at the context. You say this is a coming of age ritual for your family and it takes place in the shrine to a paladin?" Sumara looked thoughtful. "So it will be something of importance to noble families and paladins I would have thought."<br/><br/>"So what is it nobles value?" Sumara paced back and forth before the statue as she wracked her brains. "Gold, land, power, no no I'm being too literal. Chastity? That would be interesting but once you give it you definitely don't keep it."<br/><br/>"Honour, vows, ahh yes this is more likely." Sumara stopped suddenly and snapped her fingers. "That Delian oath thingy, it's what this shrine is all about. Oaths must be given before they can be kept."
