And why not told me?

How could I think the Chisera wished to know? It was a thing you might have heard from the women grinding meal or weaving baskets. But the Chisera does not often come to the village, except there is illness.

The Chisera

I have no time to gossip with the women. I have to go before the gods for them and their children.

Padahoon

And now that you are told, what will you do?

The Chisera

Is there so much to do?
