Smooth: Make him yawn in the shortest talks possible
Action: Remind him of all the silly things he hates
Smooth: Prayers need to trivial, banal
Action: The tone of voice is absurd
Grim: Everything is too long or too short
Smooth: Concentrate his mind on something offensive
Grumpy: Or be appalled at the lack of gravitas
Action: Or the reverse, flippant and humorous
Grumpy: Comedy on wheels
Grim: Then switch to the suggestion that eternal light could get things wrong.
Smooth: Did eternal light really say that
ALL:
Grim:
Action: Smooth: Grumpy:
Splendid… religious deception
