Robin could not find the words - which was very unusual for him.
"This is personal and private to me alone ... I am not of your ways, nor need to be."
"But what harm can come of it I say? That is of course,” he added with a smile, "if there is a soul in there to be saved."
"Well thank God you be smiling. Had it not occurred to his holy-ness that you might just dissolve me altogether with your Christ-shone magicks?"
The monk would not have this. Tooke's smiling eyes did their best to pierce Robin's own, with meaning.
"Under God, you and I are the same with spirit, and with His Love. I do not doubt it and neither should you."
"If that be true then", returned Robin, "Why the need for baptism then? I still can't grasp your enchantments!"
"There are many paths and although not a shortcut, it is at the very least, a straightforward one. I sit with your Elvin Council, why then can you not indulge me with this one ask?"
-Gabriel Brunsdon, Puck in Hell, Azlander Series
