this is cute but also i kind of want adaine to be his best man?
Jawbone and Gilear being best friends is kinda hilarious to me because you know who is usually the best man at a wedding? The groom's best friend. You know who Jawbone'll eventually be marrying? Gilear's ex-wife. You know who's most likely to be Jawbone's best man? You guessed it. Gilear.
Thinking about. Rizbert. Erizabeth. Rizwalda. Riz has to be short for something because... because why? Is he 'too good' for a short name? (a goblin name?) Isn't he surrounded by non-goblins who cannot think outside their cultural perceptions of what a name is supposed to be? Riz both as a name and as a person seems short & lesser but don't worry, he's really something greater, something larger and longer than can be expressed with his native name. As if something small cannot be powerful and important without secretly being large. As if there is only one way to be great. It's like Sklonda said, his name is Riz. Just Riz, as if there's anything 'just' about it.
Shit. I just realized why Callalily Clerickiller's actions against Buddy weren't on the fly.
They always needed a cleric for their plans.
This is a God-summoning we're talking about. Having someone with powers based on worship is REQUIRED for shit like this. Problem is, they keep killing clerics who "stick to their guns" instead of falling in line. Which makes me wonder... since they specifically requested Buddy, did they know he would be malleable enough to convert? Or maybe he was convinced with a honeyed-tongue.
