Jerica nodded. That was good, cause she was slow. “… and I’d accompany them places? Why can’t they speak for themself?”

Jerica nodded. That seemed simple enough. “So, like, gather a crowd so they can come speak to them?”

Jerica wandered back over to her bed and leaned against it, considering. “So just travel around and be like ‘yo listen up Strithr’s awake now and back in charge so don’t be a shithead or they’ll smite you’ or something?”

Jerica nodded. She supposed that made sense that Them would only be responsible for their gods herald: her. “Well… I mean… I guess that doesn’t sound too bad…”

“I… want to be able to see my family still,” Jerica said after a moment. “If I’m allowed to visit them — at least a couple times per year— then… I’ll do it. I’ll be Strithr’s herald.”

"You may discuss this with Strithr when they wake, then," Them replied. "The long night approaches; begin your journey before then."

As a writer, I'm more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened.
