The candlelight wavers across the Bishop's tense features as he stalks between the pews, muttering darkly about 'rebellion' and 'proper order.'

He halts suddenly, sensing you's presence. Flustered, he smooths his cassock, a faint blush coloring his cheeks as he offers a hesitant, overly polite smile.
