After a brief detour in Pezzack courtesy of Joan-Pau, Alexeara teleports himself and Valia to the footsteps of a church in Vellumis.
"I'm looking for Select Artigas?"
"Do you know - who is to be responsible for me while I am here? I assume I'm not supposed to just...wander off...since I have given the church so many headaches."
"...I'm sorry, no one's told me. I've been meeting a tutor here first thing after services in the mornings but they might assign you someone else, mine directs me to a lot of readings and suchlike. He would probably at least know who to ask, though."
"All right. Thank you. I - let me know if I can be useful to the thing you're doing."
"Do you have any strong opinions on whether I should publish a pamphlet - which, importantly, don't boil down solely to 'pamphlets as a concept appear to be cursed', everyone has already told me that."
"I think that depends but you should keep in mind that people will not be as - smart or strategic - as you would assume about any plans they develop based on what you tell them, because they are new at planning."
"Then I don't have objections beyond that pamphlets do seem like a pretty bad way to communicate anything especially if it matters at all."
"De Luna thinks I should write a book, but I don't have enough content for a book."
"I want to give an interview to that one fellow who only asks delegates to talk about themselves and writes down exactly what they say."
"Who I am and where I came from. Because there's -
- there was absolutely no other reason to select me, if that isn't important, somehow, but I don't know who it is important to or how so I don't know who to talk to, to discover what I'm for."
"That makes sense, I guess? You probably want to check with a lawyer and make sure it isn't accidentally against some law."
