"That's the Covenant," Verity said with a sigh. "Walking piles of bullshit, armed with the best weapons that generations of wealth and paranoia can buy."
One of the mice ran over to Verity's feet. "Hail, Priestess!" she called, whispers vibrating with excitement. "And Hail, Stranger! Have you come to Bear Witness to today's most Holy Rites?"
"Which holiday are we celebrating now?" Verity asked, sounding fondly aggrieved.
A chorus of voices swelled up to answer that question. "HAIL THE CELEBRATION OF SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER TOO, IT'S YOUR TURN TO WASH THE ICHOR OUT OF HER HAIR!"
Verity sighed again. "Yeah, I'm not taking part in today's ritual, whatever it is, thanks."
