"I can see. I guess I'm not positive I haven't gone mad. My head really hurts."

"I'll ask the guards to get someone for you." She stands up and walks the three feet she can walk and then shouts frustratedly, "can one of your paladins come check on Kyeo -"

He rubs the back of his neck, trying to locate and unkink some offending muscle.

The guard comes in and puts his hand on Kyeo's arm and does the soothing magic thing but the headache seems fairly impervious to it. "What happened?"

"...is praying supposed to hurt."

"- not to Iomedae."

"Wasn't Iomedae, I tried Abadar."

"Oh. I think the gods who were never human aren't - quite safe - not in a way where there will be any long-term harm, I don't think, but let's get you tea, and maybe you should lie down..." 

He glances at Carissa.

" - you don't try anything while I'm getting your friend help, understand?" And he tries to help Kyeo to his feet.

Kyeo is perfectly able to stand and walk around while in considerable amounts of pain!

Then they will get him out of there and to the hospital wing of the temple where he can rest and drink some tea that helps a little bit and have someone cast a Silence spell that helps more than that.

If Fazil had just said "it works by adding two and two to make five" this would not actually have been a good explanation but maybe the process of saying it that way would have made it clear to Fazil how hard explaining it was going to be.

Kyeo drinks his tea and attempts to nap.

The headache fades over the next couple of hours and is entirely gone by dinnertime.

That's good. He looks around for the purple girl and her friends but does not collect the nerve to go up to them and sit with them at this time.

They are talking speculatively about how to explain Good to Asmodeans and what to get from the other worlds and how to set up permanent trade arrangements.

"Did you try scrying someone there who is dead and seeing what you got -"

"No. We should ask Kyeo but - when he's ready, I think."

"You two don't get along?"

"I - don't blame him for anything. But - no, not really."

Belmarniss looks over at Kyeo. "He looks fairly inoffensive."

"He's a lovely person. He took a lot of offense when I was upset about his slave planet and I don't know where to start explaining things to him but he's perfectly nice.

 But we've had two interactions, the getting upset about the slave planet and then talking to Carissa, where she told me that he was - some Avistani word for men who don't ever care for women and then he announced that actually he'd been cured of it and then everyone was kind of bewildered at each other about that."

"Cured of - that does seem a bit bewildering."

"Everything about the interaction was very bewildering! There was some treatment he was clearly very distressed by, and he insisted it had worked at making him not attracted to men, but it hadn't done anything about attraction to women, and the point of it was to get married, though also he says no men sleep with men on his planet, which I suppose makes sense if they treat it medically as soon as anyone tries it, but, why would you bother?"

"Some places think it's indecent once you're married?"
