Alga,

Couldn't agree more re Pig. Did he like deciphering that dialect? He did
nae! 

The encounter with the godling struck me as very similar to one of Sev's
meetings with Juturna ('I would save you'), or with the hierodules, where
they kneel before him. In a sense, the godling is a debased version of a
hierodule, and recognises Silk as the 'holy one'.
