“She was! You’ve met me now. If my answer doesn’t satisfy you, pit us against each other and I’ll demonstrate I have no equal.” Lydie is ready to take on anyone! “Modesty aside, any person who impressed you is worth meeting, my dear gem!

“Of Beauty?” You take a guess.
“Beauty? That’s a misnomer from long past. No need for descriptors, there’s only *one* Church, and we’re it.” Lydie clarifies.
“Huh, I heard some people from the Church call themselves that.” This is the softest way you find to contradict her.
“It’s a layman's term, else they’d get us confused with the temples or as a new organization. I care not for practicality! Truth is always ahead!” Lydie is surprisingly strict about it. Reminds you of a certain redhead…
“So you’re a priestess then?” You raise an eyebrow.
“I used to be. I was removed for being a heretic.” Lydie dryly responds. “I don’t regret it one bit… because it’s all thanks to you.”

This is going to be a bigger headache than you were expecting, isn’t it?
Either way, that’s it for this week’s thread, thanks for playing, and see you next time!
