Pudaga was about to accept the priestess' offer when Meesei interrupted. As to her question, Pudaga gave Meesei a grateful smile. [i]"This one would appreciate if Meesei and her friends would stay with us to speak with this Brother Daranus. However, he understands if she must leave."[/i]

Given his apprehensiveness beforehand, Pudaga had tried not mentioned any names, but with the opportunity that the priestess had offered, he wanted to be more formal. He extended a hand to the priestess, [i]"This may be a great help. Thank you. This one's name is Pudaga, his family is Gati, T'drissi, and little F'sresa,"[/i] Pudaga extended a hand to point them out as he named them, [i]"Might we know your name, priestess?"[/i]

"Tzirret does not keep up with such big matters," Tzirret remarked at the talk of Ma'tanza's impressions of Cyrodiil, "He hears that the Empire is not nearly as big as it was, but it is healing."

As for the altar that Ma'tanza had singled out, Tzirret found himself anticipating nerves. The bracelet he had made was still in Dibella's offering bowl, though Tzirret was not sure that Ma'tanza saw it. He had thought that Ma'tanza was distracted by the architecture. If that was the case, Tzirret hoped that Ma'tanza didn't recognise the bracelet as Tzirret's handiwork.

"Er, yes, La'khay is a follower of Dibella. Dibella is..." Tzirret looked up at the goddess' soft smile again and he began to rub his own shoulder with one hand nervously, "...she is a couple of things. She is the divine of art and beauty. You pray to her to spread beauty, or to make something beautiful. She also is...well...kind of the love goddess." Tzirret interrupted himself and gave a glance to the window of Mara, "...People call Mara the goddess of love as well, and people marry under Mara in the temple, but Mara's love is like family. Mara is the mother." Tzirret returned to Dibella and put involuntary pauses in his words, "Dibella is the love goddess as well, but for...when you love someone...in almost all other ways. So you pray to her for that as well."
