Gragnel gets a pitted iron comb from inside his leather longcoat.

Gragnel runs his iron comb through his hair.

Gragnel runs his iron comb through his hair.

Gragnel puts his comb in his leather longcoat.

Gragnel dusts himself off.

Gragnel smiles broadly at the gathered faces, politely meeting each gaze quickly before moving to the next.

Gragnel loudly says, "Greetings, one and all. If we've not met by now, I am the esteemed Reverend Gragnel Durbin."

Gragnel confidentially says, "I am a Disciple of the great and powerful, beautiful and terrifying, mysterious and magical, fearsome and frightening, my dark lord of the Thirteen... Lord Damaris, the Panther."

Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.

Gragnel matter-of-factly says, "But, only an idiot would ignore the Thirty-Nine in their entirety. And, Momma Durbin didn't raise an idiot for a son."

Gragnel shakes his head.

Gragnel loudly asks, "Today, as with most days, I have prepared something to say. Big surprise, right?"

Gragnel smirks.

Gragnel confidentially says, "I think by now everyone knows how much I really do enjoy the sound of my own voice."

Gragnel grins wryly.

Gragnel clears his throat.

Gragnel recites:

   "When we awake each day, it is you whom we give thanks to.
    Goddess of the morning and of light, Lady Hodierna.
     
    Your majestic unicorn of the purest unblemished white stands strong and true.
     
    What crops would be harvested without your steady hand to guide it?
    What first sun's ray greeting the new Spring day would be complete without you?"

Gragnel recites:

   "Loving and kind, Lady Hodierna,
    We ask that you please hear our voices as we lift them up unto you.
     
    Gentle and graceful, Lady Hodierna,
    We ask that you please see our displays and find them worthy of your glorious name.
     
    We pray all these things in reverence of your holy divinity.
     
    Please be strengthed by the faith of the faithful."

Gragnel nods.

Gragnel thankfully says, "I appreciate your time today, folks."
