Petty bickering and fueding will only dishonor the service, regardless of the outcome.' > Nicolette says 'Oh now you will argue the faiths?' > Xeaoshom rubs his hands together in greedy anticipation. > You say 'You serve yours, I'll serve mine.' > **Conversation hits topics unrelated to the Wake so I won't post it.**
