Does he think I'm deaf?  Allysa scowled. "That's exactly what I'm--we're--proposing."

Sorka stepped forward, "Allysa, we can't decide this--we've got to take it to the Listener.  She runs our family now."

Allysa turned to face Sorka. "Whatever it takes, Sorka.  Do it.  Make the Listener understand.  Not even your Night Mother will save you if the Emperor decides to burn you out like last time."

Sorka scowled. "Watch yourself, Allysa. You come close to blasphemy."

"I follow a different god, Sorka," Allysa scowled right back. They stared at each other for a long moment.

Sorka shrugged. "I think we're done here.  We'll go confer."
