Muluc withdraws a moment and then smiles. "The tattoos have a special meaning, of course. As a Tuhlen, I look on them as part of my identity. Since you are a foreigner, I forgive your unintended rudeness in asking after their meaning." He pauses as he takes a long pull from his mug. "But you, too, have an aversion to temples? Were you enslaved in one?"

"I apologize for my rudeness." I take a drink. "My experiences thus far with temples and ceremonies have not been good. I witnessed the Path of Harvest priests being greedy after money, the High Priest of Nistaron failing to bring the sun, the Priests of Galadrin killing innocents to protect their merchandise, killing a king and taking over Arinport and I was blasted from the temple of Abrexa Path of Storms by the high priest himself." I ruminate for a moment. These gods and their servants have grown much too comfortable. The slavery, murder of innocents and domination need to end. Someone needs to shake things up. And I intend to be involved."

"You don't have to tell me twice, friend!" Muluc suddenly warms to you. "The way the priestesses of Nenetl lord it over men in their temples... disgusting and unnatural!" He orders more drinks for the both of you. "So you got the look of a man with a plan. What're you thinking?"

"Thank you for the drinks." I take a swallow. "As crazy as it might sound, we're trying to get to the bottom of the disappearance of the sun." Smiling crookedly I say "it sounds a bit mad when I say it out loud. And on the way, I plan to cause as much trouble as possible for all priests: Abrexa, Nistaron, Galadrin" I tip him a wink "Nenetl. It's time for a change."

Muluc stares at you. "Who's 'we'?"

"Myself, my two cousins and a gladiator." I smile at him a bit madly.

"I see. And are they in on the other thing, too, the whole 'causing trouble' part?"

"Not yet but I'm hoping to get them on board." Looking seriously at him "are you interested in being on board with the 'causing trouble' part? I could teach you a little about creating a bit of chaos."

"If I can cross the priestesses of Nenetl any way, I bless myself every way." Muluc smiles cruelly at you, his tattoo mask taking on a frightening shape.

"In that case, I'd be happy to 'bless' you. Let me tell you about the beauty and wonder of Chaos." I tell him my story from the storms of Elunia, my love of the sea, storms and waves and my experiences along the way. I even tell him about the riot in Arinport and how it set things to rights. "We can be agents of Chaos, ones who stand in the eye and command the storms."

"Whom do you serve?" comes Muluc's penetrating question.

Giving him a penetrating stare I say "Can I trust you? And you really need to answer me honestly."

"It depends on if you're the trusting sort, because reasonably you should not trust me, for you do not know me. I mean, how well can you know a man having not shared his bed?"

"True enough and I appreciate the honesty of your answer. Suffice to say I serve a great power from beyond this world. I choose not to say more than that at this time. However, I can tell you that you have never before met a servant of this power and I can introduce you." [Is Anthiel male or female in nature?]
