The world was healing itself, after the wars and fights. While hundreds lay dead, wounded and more would continue dying every day, it was something that Andraste had yet to steel her heart to the actualities of what it meant to belong to this world, and having been locked away in silent prayer for so long, emerging into the chaos and calamity was something that had concerned her greatly. Which was why she was here today, wondering how this world functioned. 

While walking here she had passed several churches, although it did not appear that services were busy, and there was scant attendance even at the funerals she had peeked into over the last few days, paying silent respects to those who had fallen, even if she had not known them herself personally. But this had cememented this question in her head and her heart, for she was a woman of the Maker, and if she were to find her way here she felt it was only right that she understood the masses on a more spiritual level. 

"Ladies and Gentlemen, with yet another rotation of our world, more have died with the younger generations springing forth to take the empty places at tables, factories and in families." Andraste said, her voice clear and loud, although a loud car horn that cut her off earned a glare, she was holy, but still human. 

"Tell me, in times of war, or even times of prosperity although some may argue they go hand in hand, is there a higher power you turn to? Does religion guide your actions? Do your personal beliefs counter those of this thing of ours?" 

She wasn't one for public speaking, and she could tell this lot wasn't one for public listening, much. "Can you be part of this," she said while gesturing around her at the bodies, the thieving, law breaking and general asshollery she had grown fond of, "And still have religious beliefs?" 

The Cad (and it has to be said, Bounder) noticed the fine looking filly making the speech and couldn't help but raise his monocle for a closer look

'Young lady, allow me to answer that question for you.  I for one answer to only one higher power.....GIN! That's correct, pink and fizzy on a friday too'

Ding bloody Dong
