MAKING DEMANDS ... [ REMASTERED ] @censuss ( Bhaalist!Sal )
Order is a constancy Esteri treasured dearly, for it is predictable. She enjoyed rules, as long as she was the one chiseling them in stone, and as the leader of a church, a high priestess in the most inconvenient way, the bhaalspawn achieved exactly this. Not often did her followers talk back to Esteri. Most wouldn't survive to tell the tale. However, her highness recognized useful tools, separated them from the replaceable ones.
Even if said tools grated on her nerves.
❝ loosen up, quit being so serious all the time. ❞
❝ I have more responsibility than you have affairs, Sal. I am a paragon ; THE paragon. ❞ Not one tilt of head, a voice that was silent, yet undeniably sharp. A calm cadence. The daughter of Bhaal was not in the position to loosen up, nor did she feel the urge to do so. Her father's goal required strategy, and getting messy with it all wasn't honoring his name.
❝ Are our God's demands that insignificant to you as to ignore the seriousness of it all ? If anything, I am strict enough to lead this flock without chaos breaking free. Rather than criticizing me, you should work on strengthening your beliefs. We have one calling. ❞
