"What have you decided?" the priestess asked. Though she spoke in a polite voice, the look in her eyes strongly suggested that she wished Arran would hurry up and leave already.

"I have decided to postpone my choice," Arran said, answering the priestess' frustrated stare with an overly friendly smile. "Decisions like these require careful thought, wouldn't you agree?"

The priestess remained silent for a moment, and finally grimaced in a poor imitation of a smile. "Of course," she spoke between clenched teeth. "Then I take it you will return soon?"

"I will," Arran replied. "A day or two should be enough to properly weigh my options. So you will see us again before long."

Kaleesh kept a calm expression as they made their way back out of the Hall of Blessings, but the moment they exited the massive building, he turned to Arran with a dumbfounded look in his eyes.
