No, not him. No thanks from you.You're welcome. Saved your friend for you.
The man with the knife did thank me. I offered his life meaning. I offered him the chance to worship, filled his heart, and he took the opportunity to mean something. Almost all mortal men do, when they lack faith. Show them what it could mean, and they want it more than their lives.
[Feeling that idea out.] No. I don't think so. Your willingness coerced isn't much good to me, and you have faith of your own already. No room for another in that heart, full up for the girl and your own gods. Not that it matters. All the power in the world, and can I skip from one vessel to another as I please? No, no, I cannot. It's a binding of spirits, you see. No simple untying of the knot.
[Reading internally.] Oh, no. And I don't think he likes it, either.
