"I guess it'd be interesting to know what they say." She does not sound like the reason for this is that she'll believe it.

"They also had me try to talk to Abadar again about why Cheliax can make everybody Evil but he didn't say anything."

"It's really really rare, for the gods to talk to people at all. I don't - didn't - know anyone it'd happened to."

"I don't even know why it happened to me."

"Maybe he felt bad, that his clerics couldn't explain it to you and so you didn't know, even though you wanted to... maybe it was strategically important...I don't know what moves the gods." Weak smile. "Pretty convinced that they exist, though."

"I'm pretty convinced of that at this point."

"Thank you for telling me. I do - like that plan, if I could figure out why they're putting it forward and whether they mean it."

"I'll go let them know, then?"

A flicker of anxiety. "Yeah. Thank you."

"- do you want me to come with them when they show up to explain?"

"If you'd want to do that."

"Sure," he says, and he goes looking for the adventurers.

They have left his room and are in a courtyard talking about the Worldwound.

"Carissa likes the plan but can't figure out why it's on offer and would like to be told."

"Can't figure out why it's on offer? I mean, we've been - trying to find an alternative to killing her, right, and this seems like it is one."

"- yes, but so is just insisting on jumping straight to getting married."

"I would prefer to marry someone who is excited about this and feels like they got incredibly lucky to have me interested in them and cries with joy and calls on all their friends who are all jealous and is, you know, shy on our wedding night but not mostly thinking about how favorably it compares to death."

"I see."

"Outside Cheliax I think this is a pretty standard preference."

"I hadn't especially thought about it before."

This gets some raised eyebrows but no one says anything. 

"I can try to explain to her if you think it'd be helpful."

"I think so, yes."

"Okay. Who wants to chaperone."

"I can be there, if that's what you mean."
