."Some you havenever encountered.They are from what you call the Scattering.""And what do you call it?""The Seeking." Sirafa raised a placating hand."Do not fear! We have a commonenemy.""The Honored Matres?"Sirafa turned her head to the left and spat on the floor."Look at me, BeneGesserit! I was trained only to kill them! That is my only function andpurpose!"Lucilla spoke carefully: "From what we know, you must be very good.""In some things, perhaps I am better than you.Now listen! You are a sexualadept.Do you understand?""Why would priests interfere?""You call them priests? Well.yes.They would not interfere for anyreason you might imagine.Sex for pleasure, the enemy of religion, eh?""Accept no substitutes for holy joy," Lucilla said."Tantrus protect you, woman! There are different priests from the Seeking, oneswho do not mind offering immediate ecstasy instead of a promised hereafter."Lucilla almost smiled.Did this self-styled killer of Honored Matres think shecould advise a Reverend Mother on religions?"There are people here who go about disguised as priests," Sirafa said."Verydangerous.The most dangerous of all are those who follow Tantrus and claimthat sex is the exclusive worship of their god.""How will I know them?" Lucilla heard sincerity in Sirafa's voice and a senseof foreboding."That is not a concern.You must never act as though you recognize suchdistinctions.Your first concern is to make sure of your pay.You, I think,should ask fifty solari.""You have not told me why they would interfere." Lucilla glanced back atBurzmali.He had laid out the rough clothing and was taking off his battlefatigues.She returned her attention to Sirafa."Some follow an ancient convention that grants them the right to disrupt yourarrangement with Burzmali.In actuality, some will be testing you.""Listen carefully," Burzmali said."This is important."Sirafa said: "Burzmali will be dressed as a field worker.Nothing else coulddisguise his weapon's calluses.You will address him as Skar, a common namehere.""But how do I deal with a priest's interruption?" Sirafa produced a small pouch from her bodice and passed it to Lucilla, whohefted it in one hand."That contains two hundred and eighty-three solari.Ifsomeone identifying himself as a divine.You remember that? Divine?""How could I forget it?" Lucilla's voice was almost a sneer but Sirafa paid noheed."If such a one interferes, you will return fifty solari to Burzmali with yourregrets.Also, in that pouch is your playfem card in the name of Pira.Let mehear you say your name.""Pira.""No! Accent much harder on the 'a'!""Pira!""That is passable.Now listen to me with extreme care.You and Burzmali willbe on the streets late.It will be expected that you have had previouscustomers.There must be evidence.Therefore, you will.ahhh, entertainBurzmali before leaving here.You understand?""Such delicacy!" Lucilla said.Sirafa took it as a compliment and smiled, but it was a tightly controlledexpression.Her reactions were so alien!"One thing," Lucilla said."If I must entertain a divine, how will I findBurzmali afterward?""Skar!""Yes.How will I find Skar?""He will wait nearby wherever you go.Skar will find you when you emerge.""Very well.If a divine interrupts, I return one hundred solari to Skar and --""Fifty!""I think not, Sirafa." Lucilla shook her head slowly from side to side."Afterbeing entertained by me, the divine will know that fifty solari is too small asum."Sirafa pursed her lips and glanced past Lucilla at Burzmali."You warned meabout her kind but I did not suppose that."Using only a touch of Voice, Lucilla said: "You suppose nothing unless you hearit from me!"Sirafa scowled.She was obviously startled by Voice, but her tone was just asarrogant when she resumed."Do I presume that you need no explanation of sexualvariations?""A safe assumption," Lucilla said. "And I do not need to tell you that your robe identifies you as a fifth-stageadept in the Order of Hormu?"It was Lucilla's turn to scowl
