[ She's inside and kind of feeling the effects of having done multiple different shots. But at least the coffee has taken off some of the worst of it. So she's not like. Passing out anywhere at least.

Well, certain things have been... lost, in the ways of canal-keeping.
[ she glances over her shoulder at the other woman. ]
Not that Qaiyaan would believe me. She thinks I am a heretic. But when you do not use things, they fall into disrepair, just like... not using a skill. Or not trusting.
[ Qaiyaan...? Glancing at the other woman. That's a name she heard earlier... ]
In the ways of canal-keeping?
Well...I think you must be right. If things aren't used, then, of course, they might become rusty. You may not forget how to ride a bike but it doesn't mean that the bike will be the same if you never use it.
Well, ah... over the years, much has been lost, since our religion stretches back many, many millennia. There are those that say that the canals were made perfectly, and shouldn't be modified, and the way they are now is the way they were meant to be...
...but they are beginning to fail. They have begun to fail. People forget. I just... want things to be put back to the way they were supposed to be, and I... have faith.

Cleaning up?
Re: THE TEMPLE
Aah... well, there's a great many things that need adjusting, after all. This part of the temple has not been tended to in an age...

Is there something I can do to help?

[ She tilts her head, voice lowered. ]
Why does she consider you a heretic, though?
