Secure that the devil hunter was rather open to those who were different, Shadowheart felt more at ease, speaking about her religion, " You know, you're not as narrow minded as expected of a demon hunter.., " A scrutinizing emerald look at their surroundings before she continued to explain , sensing his perplexity ,
" Sharrans celebrate the Rising of the Dark, when the superiors outline the dark plots of the coming year over the quivering body of a live sacrifice. Once a tenday, followers must engage in an act of wickedness, ideally after a nocturnal dancing and feasting ritual known as a Nightfall. A lot of people condemn the followers of Lady Shar and find them intimidating, so the temples are hidden underground. Just like the one we're headed to. Clerics of Shar also pray for their spells at night .. Though , out here there's no night, nor day, just endless gloom and rot . Still I need to dedicate a prayer to my Dark Lady.

Shadowheart might've secretly had a refined palate for rich, gourmet foods, but she wasn't picky , she's used to surviving on what not in the wilderness these days. She loved fresh fish and mushroom soup, but she'd happily trade it all for a bottle of high-quality wine and some peace and quiet.

" Well kind sir, a humble cleric like myself can't help but be grateful of your understanding about delaying the rest of your payment.

" I'm sure I'd much enjoy a simple pasta, paired with a glass of rich wine, and for dessert - sweet vanilla cake, once we're done ," At the mere thought of cake, Shadowheart sensed her tummy grumble, her cheeks flushing under his icy stare again," Though I'm sure I'll much more enjoy the company ..'', She replied coyly, " And speaking of food -- do you know what French fries do when they haven't seen each other in a while? "
