The guards look at each other, and frown, and force him to make the same arguments he made to the young priest, yesterday, before they'll finally agree to listen to him, and send in word to get him an escort to the high priest, though they'll add that he simply could have asked for an audience earlier in the day; he's willing to meet with petitioners, after all. Thankfully, they're never rude or aggressive, though they'll stop him, if he tries to push past them, raising the alarm immediately after. Finally, after about ten minutes, a half dozen guards arrive, to escort him into the high priest's reception room, where he'll be waiting. "So, what is so important, that you needed to see me, at this hour?" the priest asks.
