She looks toward Solandra and Tetula

"My fear is that the perspective of (and thus the needs of and role of) Neutral Churches might not be fully taken into account especially given Duchess Carlota's opening maneuvers this morning.  I trust Nuria in that matter."  She turns to Laia "How able do you feel to take such perspectives into account?"

"Cayden explicitly told me to come to this convention-- I can testify under Zone of Truth about that, if people doubt my bare word-- and I don't know at all what he wanted from me, or if I'm even in the right room. I'm really a very new cleric and don't have the experience of other people in this room. But I think this is maybe relevant to who should be a chair? If you guys think maybe he wanted me to be a chair?"

She sounds very sincere, like she's just trying to share helpful information to a room of cooperative people and not trying to make a blatant power grab.

"I don't think I have anything against neutral churches but I do imagine they might need less - promulgating? It's certainly good to have them around but I admit I don't think they're likely to be positively helpful except insofar as they provide people who don't feel able to aspire to Good a spiritual home. Which isn't nothing, to be clear. - He spoke to you directly, like in words?"

She didn't think Chaotic Good had much ambition for power, but Tetula overturns her assumptions about alignment once again.  She approves, but the timing in inconvenient.  She still prefers Nuria, but doesn't want to draw suspicion on Chaotic Good, so best to deflect gently.

"I'm not sure that much can be inferred from a single intervention... I have the same question as Solandra… what were the exact words of his intervention?"

She turns to Solandra.

"I think given the opportunity I can explain the virtues Irori would have me teach."

The really horrible thing, Rouen thinks, is that Cayden might actually have done this. He's Chaotic. And drunk.

"Shelyn is very kind, and friend to everyone, even when they have great difficulty getting along. Cayden, Irori, Desna, and Erastil do not always agree with one another, but all of them respect Shelyn. If Miss Solandra is a cleric of hers, I think she will guide us all very well."

"I woke up about a week ago with an awful headache, an cleric circle, and the message 'YOU ARE A DELEGATE TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION' very loudly in my head. I don't know any more details. For all I know, he arranged all this so I could have a very important five-minute conversation with a random sortition delegate. --I'm happy with Solandra if everyone else is, of course."

Lluïsa rallies. "I would encourage the cleric of Shelyn; I have no doubt that all present will happily defer to her, and that this Committee, being small and congenial, shall scarce need be called to order."

"Prophecy is broken, so probably when Cayden Cailean sent you the dream he didn't know this committee would even exist? --I think the point about Shelyn is sound." Hopefully this won't sound like a power grab. 

"I support the cleric of Shelyn." Shelyn is Neutral Good. Cayden is Chaotic Good. The choice is easy.

"As do I." He'll invite her to the chair at the head of the table and then go take her seat once she's taken it.

Not ideal, but Thea will just have to figure out this Solandra's angle and how to work it.

“We could just have all the clerics of good gods draw lots for it. I know any of you are on the same side, or all on the side of good at least. And like she said, I don’t think it matters too much who we make chair. Doesn’t seem like we’ll be trying to kick out or execute each other, like what happened in the big room.”

She smiles and looks at the faithful of Erastil.

"I think as long as Solandra isn't planning on shutting out the concerns and virtues of benevolent neutral Gods it will be much better than this morning."

"Very well then!" She switches seats. "We all seem to be in order already so that's half my job done for me. I should like to keep some notes, on attendance and votes - is there anyone here who could write them for us?"

"I have pretty good handwriting." 

"I am prepared to do so," says the Hellknight.

"I could bring one of my more disciplined students with me tomorrow if you want more help scribing or we need a message runner or we need other miscellaneous tasks?"

This is an angle on free ink and paper.

"I shall be keeping detailed notes in any event, and can cast scrivener's provided ink and paper," she offers.

Okay good they didn’t ask him to write. It sounds like there won’t be fighting, though Enric still isn’t sure about Theia. At least there wasn’t any real trouble over picking a leader.

Oh right, the diabolist lawyer.  Thea was so focused on winning the chair she didn't think about that little problem.  She won't raise any issues now.  This morning shows how it goes when accusations of diabolism start flying around.  Still, she can raise it, carefully, to Nuria privately later and watch for any wordings the lawyer suggests and anything she physically writes.

Lictor Rouen Stought is both Lawful, and not an agent of Mephistopheles, God Of Making Law Not Work For People, and so is the best choice, but someone needs to give in. "I will yield to Delegate Tosta."

"--I mean, if you'd rather, that's fine? I was offering, not requesting."

"Thank you, Delegate Cornellà, it will be good to have lots of copies! And if anyone doesn't read I'll be happy to read over the record for them later. Now, feel free to add things of course, but the way I see it is that there's the physical churches - we've pretty well colonized them here in Westcrown, but there's the rest of the country to worry about too - and there's the culture, and there's the clerical services, especially important since there's a lot of places short on water and healing now. Am I missing anything big in that list?"

Then she'll shrug, take out pen and paper, and - "Are all members of the committee present?" When the roll call is done she can start taking notes.
