battle of the mansplainers is perfection. i have anatoleas as a priest of the goddess of (among other things) death, so if he ever heard some credulous townspeople talking about how this hermit can totally talk to spirits from the beyond, he would not. be able. to stand it. he won't rest until everyone knows that's completely impossible. he has no chill and cannot deal with someone being Wrong On The Internet.
and man, he would absolutely save his pennies to try to buy the ground out from underneath someone he dislikes. or to try to manipulate one of his more noble acquaintances into buying it.
