Abrogail Thrune returns to the palace, hears out a quick update on Carissa Sevar, and manages not to beat her head against the nearest wall, which wouldn't particularly survive the experience. Yes it damages your Evil, Carissa, good call there.
Abrogail is tempted to have the wretch killed on the spot, but this probably works better if Sevar tries him out and is disappointed - Abrogail can always arrange that this is the case, if required. There's also that lingering doubt about whether Sevar actually is meant to devise better theology.
