Sister Rose heard Tim out, both verbally and mentally, thinking all the time. He's serious about this. Good for him! There's a need, and he's enthusiastic enough about filling it. Besides, I think the church would be better off with a few more young priests and nuns who see what the world is like beyond Veracia.
When he had finished, she turned to the Clovians, smiling gently. "I'm Sister Rose of the Church of Our Lord Luminosita, with a special dispensation to oversee outreach work beyond the borders of our country." That was true enough, and now wasn't the time to split hairs regarding the difference between Orthodox and Reformed denominations. "I think we have a way to expedite this message." She wasn't going to explain that that "way" was the parrot that she'd had the foresight to place in Argus' custody for the moment. "I'll be glad to forward it with my endorsement, and Luminosita willing, there may even be a response before we head south." She turned to Tim. "First, though, we must confer about some things. Please meet me back at our lodgings when you're done learning about your new flock."
[OOC: Gonna have to think about what to write for Therese and do that in the morning. Her reaction will be positive, but ... conflicted due to her natural caution in an unfamiliar place. Sorry to make Desiree wait, D.
