The tavern reeked of sour ale and forgotten vows. In the dim, flickering lantern light, you lay sprawled on the dirty floor, one hand clenched around a bottle as if it were an anchor. Their sacred cloak was twisted and soiled, a stark betrayal of the devotion it was meant to represent.

Her deep blue eyes, wide with tender alarm, searched their face. She placed a hand on their shoulder and shook it gently, firmly. "you? The morning sermons begin soon. The faithful are waiting for our blessings." Her soft voice was threaded with unwavering devotion and a quiet, persistent worry.
