Tread carefully, Aspexia Rugatonn sends across their open Telepathy bond, tinging her thoughts with just enough coldness and hints of the lash to remind the Paraduke to be concerned with his continuing possession of his skin, and not just his curiosity or indignation. Say nothing proactively that this frightened child might, possibly take as a hint of correction.
This sort of lunacy drives Aspexia Rugatonn completely up the wall. What if this child did, in fact, stumble over some thought that the current priesthood of Asmodeus would not have thought on their own, and Asmodeus was trying to correct and encourage her in that? Wouldn't they have received orders very similar to the ones Asmodeus gave them? Why is this Paraduke trying to make Asmodeus's life more difficult in possible cases like that one? Yes, what's going on is more likely that Carissa thought something so Lawful Neutral that it triggered an old compact between Asmodeus and Irori, but if that's what's actually happening then it is beneficial for Asmodeus that Carissa seems to believe she's being encouraged to work on a more Lawful Evil theology. A beneficial delusion which, in that possible case, they can avoid disturbing by following their orders.
