Malakhiri latches on to Nellie's rhetorical question with the proportional speed and strength of a drunken mantis shrimp.
LET US DISCUSS THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC! THE WAYS IN WHICH YOU'VE OFFENDED THE OLD GODS!
Malakhiri inhales...
WAY ONE: YOU ASSAULTED A HERALD OF THE SEVEN CIRCLES!
WAY TWO: YOU ARE CORRUPT AND WEAK, INFLUENCED TOO MUCH BY THOSE WHO WOULD UNDERMINE THE OLD GODS!
WAY THREE:...
They go on for several minutes in such a manner. It's quite impossible to get a word in edgewise, until...
WAY THREE SCORE AND EIGHT: YOU DON'T PAY DUES AT THE OLD GODS RELIGION PLACE MEETING!
WAY THREE SCORE AND NINE: (Nice) YOU DON'T EVEN ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS IN THE FIRST PLACE! THEY'RE WEEKLY! YOU HAVE TIME!
AND FINALLY, WAY THREE SCORE AND TEN: YOU ARE JUST TERRIBLE IN GENERAL!
Malakhiri runs out of reasons. They're no Martin Luther, (especially considering they only came up with seventy reasons, rather than ninety-five, why everyone else is terrible, and also they don't seem to believe that belief alone is enough for salvation in the eyes of their gods), but they certainly got the "nailing" part down, in that it was painfully loud and it felt like heads were being hit with a hammer.
