"Lest I have been unclear, I do not think I am told that there is romance between Keltham and Sevar. That is only what I thought upon hearing of the compact's details and imagining what it would mean to a woman of Irori, before you observed to me that she would not know of her protection. Their Ways are entangled, obviously; but the only part of what I have been shown, that I have yet decoded, is that Keltham is to Sevar her own true teacher."
"...this whole matter sounds like there might be quite the convocation of gods and mortals if they all ever get the chance to sit it down and lay out the truth over cake. I should like to be in the room where it happens, if it happens."
