Pandreo: Sir Vander, is it true you used to serve in Lythos under Queen Lumera?
Vander: Yes, I was her attendant. Why do you ask?
Pandreo: I just want to say that as a man of the cloth, I hold you in the highest regard.
Pandreo: I would have given my left arm for such an honorable station─in the Holy Land, no less.
Vander: Keep flattering me and you may lose an ear instead. I’ll talk it off with my old war stories.
Pandreo: Please do! I’d love to hear about what it was like.
Vander: Certainly. Though perhaps we should find a more appropriate place to talk.
Pandreo: Why don’t you come to my next party? That ought to be a suitable setting.
Vander: Hm. I’m not usually one for parties.
Pandreo: Oh, I’m sure you’ll fit right in. It’s just a small gathering at the church.
Pandreo: Young adherents praying for peace─some pious singing and dancing. That sort of thing.
Vander: Worship through song and dance? Why, that sounds marvelous.
Pandreo: I see it as my clerical duty to help people find comfort in these difficult times.
Vander: I understand. You put on these get-togethers as a kind of service to your congregants.
Pandreo: Exactly! So, would you care to join us?
Vander: Of course. How could I refuse an invitation to such a sanctified gathering?
Pandreo: Wonderful! I look forward to seeing you there.

Pandreo: Thank you for coming to the party today, Sir Vander! You really elevated the proceedings.
Vander: Pandreo, did my ears deceive me, or were you and the other guests…howling?
Pandreo: Oh, don’t worry about that. Just a thing we do when the spirit moves us.
Pandreo: We were riveted by your fascinating stories about Queen Lumera.
Vander: Well, that’s good, but… Really, what bizarre gathering did I witness?
Vander: You spoke of pious songs and dances. I was expecting something rather solemn.
Vander: Instead, it was a circus! Everyone hopping about and yelping like rabid dogs.
Vander: Could you even hear what I was saying over all the commotion?
Pandreo: Of course!
Pandreo: That was why we got so excited. We were celebrating your stories in our bodies and souls.
Vander: Hm, is that so. Call me old-fashioned but… I usually celebrate stories by listening to them.
Pandreo: I did notice you didn’t dance with us.
Vander: Of course not! This creaky back of mine would snap if I cavorted around like that!
Pandreo: Still, I appreciate your open-mindedness. In the early days, some followers would complain.
Vander: Did they now?
Pandreo: Yes. People in Solm don’t tend toward religion. The church used to be rather, ah, ill-attended.
Pandreo: Then I had an idea that turned things around.
Vander: To make church more like a party.
Pandreo: Exactly! If you want people to listen, you have to speak in a language they understand.
Vander: You worked hard to rebuild your church. I apologize for calling it a circus.
Vander: Though…unorthodox, your methods have clearly brought in new worshippers. I appreciate that.
Pandreo: That is high praise coming from you, Sir Vander.
Vander: Yes, well. Perhaps more flexible thinking is just what the world needs right now.

Vander: Hngh! Come on, Vander. Mustn’t let those young folk show you up…
Pandreo: Vander, what’s going on? Is this a training technique you learned in Lythos?
Vander: No! It’s nothing! Now…go away!
Pandreo: Oh… I was just checking in as a friend. Sorry to disturb you.
Vander: …
Vander: Pandreo, wait. I was trying to…learn how to dance.
Pandreo: Oh, OK. You’re learning how to dance.
Pandreo: Wait a minute. Learning how to dance?!
Vander: Yes.
Pandreo: But I thought you had a bad back.
Vander: Shut up, will you! I am trying to understand what the young people get out of it.
Vander: But these motions are…beyond me. I feel young, but my body has no such delusions.
Pandreo: Ah, it’s just that you’re not used to it. Anyone can learn with a little practice.
Vander: Hm. In that case, I suppose I’ll keep at it.
Pandreo: Hm-hm!
Pandreo: You’re nothing if not steadfast. I admire that.
Vander: Is that one of those ironic compliments you young people enjoy so much?
Pandreo: No, really! Though you and I are from different generations, we share beliefs as holy men.
Pandreo: I think learning from each other’s experiences can only benefit us both.
Pandreo: Like with the stories you told at my party─ I really appreciated hearing them.
Vander: I am always glad to impart what I have learned.
Vander: Let us continue teaching each other─for the church’s future, and indeed, the world’s.
Pandreo: Agreed!
Vander: To that end, I will master this dance so that I may “boogie down” at your next party. Hup!
Vander: URGH! MY BACK!
Pandreo: Oh! Sweet mother of─ How is it bent like that?!
