Tears came into his eyes. "This isn't fair," he muttered, then rounded furiously on the ground at his heels. "He's laughing at me! Yasnic, your god is... nasty. Your god is a nasty son of a bitch! I thought he was all about healing."

Ruslav stared. "So I can still...?"
"You're not a priest," Yasnic confirmed. And then, to the patch on the floor, "He's not a priest, He'll do things You won't approve of."
"But when I do, he'll be there watching," Ruslav said, and then once again recalled their audience. "What?" he bellowed. "You never saw a man have a crisis of faith before?"

"But I... I'm still your priest" Yasnic, on his knees, trying to find the piece of floor his invisible God was standing on. "It doesn't change anything. And Ruslav isn't... You can't make him live like a priest. He's..." A weirdly prudish moment. "Lusty."

She fussed over Hellgram, offering him an arm like one of those little pick-birds trying to lift a crocodile Hellgram didn't register her, or the fact that he'd just taken a boot to the solar plexus.

And then her people were trying to bundle Hellgram down the stairs, although he was a lot stronger than he looked and made the descent rather more on his own terms than they'd intended.

Ruslav hunched forward. "And do I... I have to pray, now? Sacrifice? Spread the word or it all... comes back? What did you sink into me, you little bastard?" But afraid rather than angry. "I just... I just got out from somewhere an invisible thing was trying to control my head. And now you've hooked me on just the same thing."

"What?" God said. "He agreed. He did."
"What?" Yasnic demanded of God.
God- slightly bigger now, slightly less bedraggled - put His hands on His hips and scowled at him. "He heard what you said, and he agreed." He stated. "He's one of mine now."

"You can't scam God, Ruslav, I mean," How did you even think that would work? "You raise a hand against another and it all comes back. That's how it works. Why do you think I don't have any converts? I'm sorry-" And then one of the soldiers twisted his arm behind his back, probably just to stop his appalling babble of useless talk.

He found Lemya crouching over the Pal woman, and for a moment thought there was a murder going on. He'd not have blamed anyone concerned.
