Surprisingly enough, a sermon has been held in the church...

To Clara's great surprise, it seemed from the throng leaving the church in a timely fashion that a sermon probably had been held. The timing seemed to equal out. The high priestess sighed, smiling contentedly. Cherubin had said that Geod provides... it seemed he was telling the truth. Maybe that was just his roundabout way of saying that he was going to handle it himself after all? "I wish that man would speak more plainly..." she thought to herself. It was a blessing to have other angels to share this experience of leading the church with, but sometimes, she had to wonder why Geod had given her such an eclectic batch of angels to work with.

The faithful leaving the church sure looked delighted... maybe the change of pace had been a good thing? Ordinarily, the crowd leaving seemed half asleep or eager to get to their lunch. To see them in such good humor was surprising and ever so slightly offensive, if she was being honest with herself. Pouting, the high priestess stood to one side and watched them leave. Whoever had given such a delightful and innovative service, she wanted to meet them personally and thank them. "I'll have to pick their brains to learn how not to be so boring!" she thought to herself with moody sarcasm. "Was Cherubin really such an eloquent speaker that he excited them to this extent?!"

She recognized that her jealous thoughts were unseemly in the eyes of Geod, but she couldn't help thinking them as she sneaked around the side, past the church-goers, and headed for the priest's room. If someone really had given a sermon, they'd have retired there afterward.
