Chrysa decided she was going to take a shot for every time Priest Enzo said compliance. That guy said it way too much.

Pandora tried to look like she was concentrating on the sermon, but her mind wouldn't stay in the present.

"Compliance is, after all, the key to successful life and a life worth living," Enzo said, gazing at each of the members of the congregation. He noticed a handful of the teens looked quite absent. He should understand –they were teenagers, and teenagers always look bored– but his mind was still annoyed. He frowned. "Compliance is paying attention when a priest is speaking. Compliance is respect."

Walker did his best to make it look like he was interested in what Priest Enzo was saying. He felt like the man would stare at him whenever he seemed to zone out. He felt exhausted, and almost felt himself drifting off, when his mother, who was next to him, nudged him awake.

He's on to us, Chrysa pushed off all other thoughts and then focused on the sermon.

Pandora snapped out of daydreaming and focused on the Priest's general direction. Man, that guy gave her the jitters.

That's better, Enzo thought smugly. He raised his arms high. "All repeat after me: Compliance is key."

"Compliance is key." She murmured with the congregation. If there was one thing she hated about this place, it was the fact that everyone was supposed to go along with things without questioning it.

"Compliance is key," Chrysa did everything in her power to not sound distained.

"The goddess thanks you." Enzo closed his eyes. He could feel the presence of the goddess surrounding him, thanking him, loving him. It was bliss to feel so complete. "Now, let us rise and sing the song of praise."

Walked had simply mouthed the words barely when told to. He did that mostly during gathering, at least it looked like he was trying.

Dang, gtg. Bye)

Morrigan sang, her strong, flowing voice ringing out in the cathedral. If anything, she hated the song. However, she loved to sing.

Chysa joined in on the song. Her voice melodic, despite her hate for these lyrics.

Zoe started singing, her gentle voice floating along with others'. She loathed the lyrics, but that didn't stop from her pouring herself into her singing.

Walker kept his mouth shut tight. He would say the words and chants, but not that obnoxious song.

The song finished, and Morrigan bowed her head again.

Walker wasn't singing. Enzo had looked for him in the audience for his lack of participation, and sure enough, he wasn't singing. Enzo made a mental note to talk to the boy as soon as service ended. Walker might be in need of some… compliance therapy.

(This ain't good.)

Chrysa bowed her head as the song finished. She couldn't wait for this to be over with.

(We’ll see what happens)

Walker slouched back against the hard seat, his eyes fixed at his hands that were folded in his lap.

"And now, the prayer. Repeat after me." Enzo recited the Goddess's prayer from heart, letting the words flow from his lips automatically. He loved the feeling of the words on his tongue. It was beautiful.
