"The blot...sounds like Drake is also working my followers up out there." She stops, listening to the sermon, smiling.
"I'm sure we'll get a few more converts tonight," she says, arching her eyebrow inquisitively at the pair before her.
Continuing, she goes back to talking about the poison. "Do you have time to investigate the poisoning? I've never seen it so effective. Usually it takes days to reach the point the girl was at, and I would like to know the source."
