Gyps was more interested in the interview as each of Mal's words came out of his mouth. He tried to meditate about what the Episkopos was saying at the same time he was thinking what should be asked next. Somehow, he told to himself, this was exactly the interview he was expecting. But on the other hand, he felt Mal's eristic character was making it flow in a new, compromised way, he was not expecting. After all, the Episkopos Prime of the Goddess Eris and her Church in Sirius was a busy person. And so Gyp was very grateful with him, and Goddess. He makes a pause, and then says:
Well Mal, you say you have been blessed by the people you have met, and that leads me to another question I wanted to ask. Mind if I smoke? He lits his cigarrette with a silver, old fashioned lighter.
Are you aware of how crucial were Goddess' plans for Reg Waverly in your own life story? His search for you was at times frustrating, at times exhausting, yet he never gave up FNORD. How farther than you thought you could take it has Discordianism gone thanks to the help you have recieved from your fellow cabbages? Even false cabbages.
Also, how much do you weight Mal?
He ended this last question with an ear-to-ear smile.
