Belladonna walks slowly into the Cathedral, pausing at the entrance to note the large building and the whereabouts of the shrines inside. Seeing a number of priests and others sitting in pews and kneeling before the shrines, she walks around until she comes to the Sidhean shrine.
She bows and holds her Sidhean holy symbol to her heart. "Praise be to the Allfather," she whispers quietly.
After a few seconds of contemplation she looks around for the Kharachian shrine and approaches it, carefully removing her Kharachian holy symbol and sitting in the front row of pews she holds it against her heart and bows her head in prayer.
After some time in prayer, Belladonna glances around, hoping to see the person she has been waiting for.

The crunching of chainmail and stone under hard boots announces the presence of Leoric, cloaked and hooded as he enters the cathedral. He strides over to the Sidhean shrine, taking a knee before it with the resounding clank of steel shinguard on stone floor. He draws his sword as he kneels, resting the tip gently on the stone floor and clasping both hands over the hilt in a whispered prayer to the lord of balance.
After a few moments of silent worship he stands, a metallic resonance filling the tall-roofed, otherwise quiet place. Next he visits the shrine to Kharach, and in a similar display of devotion, begins to pray a second time. As he rises again, he sheaths his sword, to the relief of the less armed and armoured worshippers.
Spotting Belladonna, he walks over to her pew and takes a seat, his chain this time sounding off mutedly against the wood.
"Miss Lockhart, it's good to see you again. I was surprised not to have heard for you this whole year. I thought you had passed on at the battle of Great Barrow Keep. You were in the thick of it last I saw you. It wasn't until I got the roster handed to me of up-coming squires just recently and I saw your name that I knew you'd survived. Lots of wounds, I hear. Ready to serve the order again?"

Belladonna stands briefly as Sir Leoric approaches and sits. Back seated, she smiles and replaces her holy symbol around her neck and turns to him.
"It's good to see you again too, Sir. The news of your recent appointment reached me shortly before I was due to be released. Congratulations."
She turns and looks around at the many people talking in hushed tones around the Cathedral.
"The attack at the Keep was rather fierce, but I assure you I am well now and quite ready to continue. Would you like to perhaps take this to the tavern? I think those in prayer would like a little more quiet, and I have many things to ask you."

Leoric looks around briefly at the rest of the worshipers and resolves to nod. He stands, as quietly as he can manage in armour which is to say not very, and speaks again.
"Lets do that. The tavern here isn't all that bad, and I can answer many of your questions there I imagine."
Leoric holds out his hand in a gentlemanly fashion to guide Belladonna towards the exit of the cathedral.
"We have a great deal to talk about, and a great many good works to be done."

Bella takes his hand and rises, careful that her mace stays behind and out of the way as she steps past a priest.
She follows Leoric out of the Cathedral and into the centre of Barra.
