I think--

[Pauses. Starts again.]

I'm going to... open a chantry. Just a small one, like a... like a chapel. I even found a suitable building, it just needs a little cleaning and fixing.

[Sighs.]It might be helpful to have a place to gather, that's all. You don't have to come by if you don't want to, and if you do come by, you don't have to pay

Would you mind if I stopped by?

| Video; |

[reformedrake]

Not at all. Stop by any time you like.

[bufudynes]

You wouldn't mind that, considering the fact that I am not of your faith?

[reformedrake]

Of course not. You're a friend, at the very least.

But even if you weren't? How could I claim to belong to a welcoming church if I didn't welcome everyone?

[reformedrake]

Of course, of course. And there will be a small statue of you on top of the box where we'd keep the candles.

[He's joking.]

Thank you. I could use a little, actually.

That sounds like a nice idea! I'm not very religious, but I'm willing to help out if you need someone to gather materials or items or just help out with tidying the place up!

Thank you very much. I didn't realize it'd be so hard to fix up a building on my own.

[ It takes Garrett a long time to come up with an adequete reply. He has listened, and watched, and he smiles, just a little, before exhaling slowly and looking down at the tablet, finally ready to get Sebastian's attention. ]

It's the right thing, Sebastian. You needn't be so unsure. It's a good thing to do for people; some people need a little hope.

Some, more than others.

Any help you require, and I'd be glad to lend a hand.

...Thank you. [Really, that's about all he can say. And it's clear from the way he says it, that it applies to everything.]

[ Ah, it looks as though it's time for one of Garrett's signature lightening-the-mood grins. So here it goes. ] You're welcome. It's nice to see a little piece of home.

Aye, it is. Anders has a clinic, you've a mansion, and I've...well. You know.

[Curious headtilt.]

Does the architecture amplify and direct the sound waves?

[Video]

[reformedrake]

Well, I know some buildings are designed to make sounds echo. Acoustics, I think that's what it's called.

[Video]

[ofunquietwater]

Many buildings. It was useful for public oration before the invention of the microphone.

...Is that why people pray inside?

[Video]

[reformedrake]

It certainly might be. That and not getting rained on during services.
