Coaltique tells the Bravos about a ceremony of renewal

"You have returned much more quickly that I had imagined you might" the lizardfolk high-priest was kneeling before a statue of the Goddess, eyes closed and palms together when the Bravos approached him. He didn't move to acknowledge their presence, remaining still even as he spoke to them.

"Yes, rather quickly indeed." Emmaline approached him, standing behind and beside the old lizardfolk. She had begun to adopt the overly formal tones of her noble upbringing, something the others had seen before. "I assure you we wish you no offense, but, well, there are matters we might wish to attend to outside the walls of your lovely city and, with the restraints placed upon us by our current, unfortunate, status that is simply something we cannot do."

Coatlique turned his head to look up a her. A small grin formed across his mouth as he began to rise. Emmaline stood calmly and waited for him, her hands together behind her back to present her voluptuous figure, while the other Bravos remained at a respectful distance.

"We agreed that it would be in the best interest of all present if we could resolve this situation as quickly as possible and we could come up with no better way to do so than through the church." Emmaline smiled sweetly.

"You know," Coaltique said, his eyes wandering idly over Emmaline's form. "If I wissshed it, I could take you right here, and no one, not the guardsss or the penitentsss would even bat an eye."

While Liv scowled behind her, Emmaline stepped forward, taking Coatlique's hand and placing it on her chest. "I rather wish you would" she spoke quietly, but loud enough for the rest to hear. She held his gaze for a long moment while the old lizardfolk's hand squeezed her breast absentmindedly.

"Perhapsss in my younger daysss," After a considerable pause, he stepped back, shaking his head. "I'm much to busy for sssuch thingsss now-- I have a city to keep faithful and ceremonial dutiesss which must be attended to."

"Yes, that was why we came to speak with you so quickly." Emmaline said, stepping toward him once again. "Fuu said you had mentioned something about a way to earn freedom through religious service? We all were... quite interested in that"

"Quite interested you sssay?" Coatlique considered it for a moment, then gave a smile that was unplaceable between wickedness and relief. "Perhapsss you could work asss.... ssstand insss for Atzinin'sss mossst sssacred renewal. Though, we will only need... two of you"
