Lenore is scared. She can admit to that, and maybe she's always been a bit more scared in general compared to normal people given her upbringing, where being timid meant she was more likely to be safe. But now she's scared of trusting a priest in exchange for maybe getting answers about the mark on her arm that appeared without warning.
Maybe get answers.
It's not guaranteed. The risk feels higher than the reward, and it's up to Lenore to decide. Alaric isn't pressuring her to seek answers, but he's offering her the opportunity to try finding them if she wants to. She's never been tasked with making a decision that important before.
It's terrifying.
What if she makes the wrong choice? What happens if she decides to search for answers with the help of a priest only for that priest to break their word and reveal the existence of the mark on her arm? What if there aren't any answers to be found?
