Gah! Claude! Why didn't you say anything?

You were praying so fervently, I didn't want to interrupt.

Ignatz

I appreciate the sentiment, but I wasn't praying.

Claude

No? What then?

Ignatz

I was just thinking about the goddess.

Were you now? Fascinating! Please, go on.

Not here. Let's go somewhere else.

So, you were pondering the existence of the goddess, then?

Ignatz

Yes. All right, consider this. The archives here have all kinds of texts about the goddess, right?

But when people tell stories of the goddess, it's only myths and legends that glorify her.

They probably hope to rake in more followers by glorifying the goddess as much as possible.

That would be why the church tends to quietly shove all of their more questionable records under some secret rug somewhere.

C-Claude, don't put words in my mouth! That's not what I said!

Ignatz

I was just wondering what the goddess looks like.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

That's the kind of thing I like to think about.
link
Claude

What the goddess...looks like? Well, I suppose if she really exists, she probably looks a lot like us.

Claude

In fact, she probably wouldn't be so different from that old woman working here in the dining hall.
link
Ignatz

What?! Claude, please stop! The goddess I imagine is absolutely beautiful!

Claude

How rude of you, Ignatz! I'm sure that old woman was lovely back in her day.
