Since Vohrear and Nyrear were employed here, the humans looked at them. "We're going out. Our lunch is done so we're going to spread the word." Owen said. Jason instructed them to hold down the temple and get one of the whelps if someone came in needing services. "Are you guys still mendicant!? I give lots of donations to the temple so you don't have to do that." I said. They looked sheepish. "Well, it's one of the big oaths we took when we were initiated as acolytes in Robal City. We can't just stop now." Jason explained. "And the money I give!?" I asked. Owen said "Since we are the only temple here, it is our duty to ensure that the other shrines are well taken care of. We give the money to them! It really lessens their burdens. We all thank your generous patronage!" He bowed to me as he fast talked. I rolled my eyes. "Fine. It is important to support all the followers of Bilios. Their clergy especially." I muttered. The brothers nodded their heads and rushed out of their temple. Lucky bastards. If I knew, I would have not have given such big donations each week. Too late to change it now.
That was when we were reunited with a couple of familiar faces. It was Jane and Jamie. I could not believe it. Seeing us, they approached where we were. Both of them looked just as nervous and wary as I was. "Hello." I said. "Hello." Jamie said back to me before quickly looking down at the floor. He was probably remembering the orgies. Jane just gave a curt nod. "Do you know where the head priest is?" she asked, looking at the empty space around us. "Head priest Jason and his brother have already left. They took an oath of mendicancy, so they must beg for the money they need to survive. It's lunchtime, but there are 5 other priests here." I informed them. It was the truth. Jane looked at Jamie who was still avoiding any eye contact with us. Jane just sucked her teeth and looked at Nyrear. "You work here, right? I saw you last time I walked by." she said. He nodded his head. "Jamie and I have some problems and we would like to see the priests." she said tiredly. There was a beat of silence as the guards just looked at her. They did not answer to her. They both answered to me though.
Rolling my eyes, I looked at them. "You 2 were given instructions from head priest Jason, correct?" Vohrear blinked and looked shocked. "You were serious? We actually have to answer to them!?" he snapped. "No fucking way are we doing that. Keeping the whelps at bay is one thing. Being subordinate to them is unthinkable." Nyrear added. I just furrowed my brows. "You 2 work here. Of course they outrank you here. The whelps outrank you. You just happen to answer directly to me. Now, I'm telling you: get a priest from the back. One for each of you." I stated firmly. Both of them growled deeply. I sighed. "Fine. You do this, you get a second lantern." I told them. That motivated them to go to the backrooms. All fiends loved having and eating souls. Jane and Jamie saw all of that shit. They clearly wanted answers. "Sorry. My cousins. I got them this job. Security guards are really lacking these days." I said out loud. They both nodded their heads. Whether they believed all that or not was on them. If they tried to pry too deeply into our business, they would simply be killed off. We could not risk it.
