[ Stops and stares. ]

... What on earth is that?

A shepherd's crook.

[ just.

smiles at her. ]

[ Her expression instantly morphs from unsure to furious. ]

That's... ridiculous! We don't have a shepherd! You can't trick anyone by making yourself some staff to wave around!

Then where, praytell, is my collar?

H-How should I know that?!

This must really frustrate you . . . "boss."

[ GRITS HER TEETH IMPOTENTLY

then after a few beats, jabs a finger at her. ]

Listen here! I haven't cared what the forces of this pasture dictate before, and I won't start now. I will never acknowledge you as my leader, and I certainly don't plan on taking any orders from you!

[ tips her head to the side. ]

My. Is that a lack of faith in your shepherd?

[ careful. though, obviously, up to you if it activates or not! ]

[ It does! She suddenly goes stiff and swallows hard. ]

—What did you just do?!

. . . ah. Your faithlessness was punished by the Demon King.

How unfortunate.

What does that mean?! It was obviously your doing!

I am the bearer of the Commandment of Faith, a fragment of the Demon King's power. Thus, those who show faithlessness in front of me shall be struck down by it.

You're quite fortunate. It's merely temporary.

[ UGHHHhhhh ]

Don't talk like it's none of your business!

I have no control over it, as a matter of fact. It's quite annoying. I'd prefer to do away with those security measures altogether, myself.

[ With bitterness dripping from each word: ]

Hah! So you can't even manage your own powers, then? That's hardly impressive.

It's not a power. It's the power's security system.

Don't be pedantic. You have no influence over it either way.

You're quite sore, aren't you? No power, and blind on top of that now due to your lack of faith. Perhaps you should rest.

Shut up. I just told you that I won't listen to you.

[ But she does turn on her heel. Very obviously trying to project more confidence in where she's going than she actually has. ]

But you'll have to come when I call. And won't that be fun.

[ she won't actually use it because this is faith and she's super lazy and would rather drink wine in her tower. ]

[ Shoots a glare over her shoulder, though she doesn't manage to look in Faith's exact direction. ]

Try it and I will make sure you regret every moment of it.
