I'll file the requistion.Unsatisfied, you rise to your feet, pacing around the telescope in the center of the room. An hour passes as you compose your speech internally, practicing various gestures and movements as you do. The Pontifex's teachings come in handy, but you're limited by your lack of an arm.

Iyal stands on the other side. She bows her head respectfully. "I wish to speak with you, Lady Pheobe."
"Uh, yes. Come in." You're already put off balance by the time she enters, and the two of you find a sitting room. She sits upon the floor, setting her palms on her knees and bowing her head.
"I would like to ask you a question."
"Okay..?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"I'm--I'm sorry?"
"Defending these people. Why do you care, when you're so much stronger than they are?" Her words catch you off guard, and you shift in your seat. "As an angel such as yourself, surely there's something that awaits you besides this world?"
