Re: Temple Hill
Goran considers her answer for a moment, in an attempt to be careful. These ladies could be friendly, based on his preliminary sense of things. However, the evil cults never openly displayed their opinions openly. They were always hidden under the surface. It was best to be conservative with his questions and behavior until he was sure of things.
"The pie smells delightful, but I will pass. Thank you for the offer, it is appreciated. I unfortunately took quite a tumble not long ago, and my stomach still isn't quite right after that hill. Perhaps a bit later, after I feel more settled."
After a brief pause, to be polite and not seem too forward, Goran looks for another opening so he can continue.
"If I may beg your indulgence, I have a question, in the interest of respect and understanding. This land seems enchanted in some way, although I do not understand it's nature. We do not know if it is magical, or spiritual. We just came here to explore. You mentioned that you not see some of the seasons. I do not know how that might work, or how you might survive under these conditions.
Also, you mentioned the Goddess as if we should immediately share that context with you. Please forgive me. I am but a simple priest of Hors, and come from the country. Life seemed much simpler there, and I was never exposed to such things. I would appreciate a moment of patience, if you are willing to explain to an old man?"
OOC Goran is 48, which is really quite old for most settings of this nature and time period. He's going to play up the old man bit a little, with a helping of country bumpkin and some simpleton on the side. All of this happens to be true, although he's plenty smart. Just not as educated.
