"I don't know how much is Tongues and how much is Cultural Adaptation -- but, no, that's not more information than I've been getting about dath ilan, if I'm not remembering that. I didn't know Share Language could do that, but I don't know it can't... it's perhaps some artifact of the sheer amount of unfamiliar information being translated, usually when we use this spell on Golarion it's between two cultures that mostly talk about similar things and just need the words mapped."
"Your basic theology is accurate. To be very clear, since I am talking to someone who has perhaps never understood the very basics and grew up in a very different society, the claim 'you're only supposed to think thoughts Asmodeus would approve of' means 'Hell won't be happy if you do otherwise', it is not a moral claim."
"Possibly when all of this is done, and it becomes evident how I could have done better, I will on my return be punished for not thinking of the exact things I should have said to fool you about that, and instead swearing on my Law to tell you the truth -- as lasts through the duration of the Tongues spell, say. But in fact we two little mortals are presently trapped in the unknown machinations and purposes of an Outer God, and to try to cleverly fool you about things for slightly more advantage accruing to myself, when I don't even know what kind of advantage I should be trying to win from you, would in my opinion cross the line from Asmodean Evil into Stupid Evil."
When Esta was a little baby naive fresh 1st-circle graduating seminary, he was privileged to hear a graduation lecture from an 8th-circle of Asmodeus, who might have been Rugatonn's successor had Felandriel Morgethai not soul-trapped him. That 8th-circle told them all, in that lecture, that they could rise very high in the Church's esteem and trust by simply not being Stupid Evil, over and over, every day; and that those few of them who found it possible at all, would be shocked at how few others could ever distinguish the difference.
Esta has ever since held this as a guiding star of his ambitions to rise in the Church, and he has never found Marçal Ferrer i Dalmau's advice to steer him ill.
