Oh, yeah. And remember, that one's not just TO the White God, it's FROM
him as well:

	"And the Bastard grant us..." -- dy Cabon's voice, fallen into the
soothing singsong of ceremony, stumbled for the first time, slowing -- "in
our direst need, the smallest gifts: the nail of the horseshoe, the pin of
the axle, the feather at the pivot point, the pebble at the mountain's
peak, the kiss in despair, the one right word. In darkness,
understanding." He blinked, looking startled.

	Ista's chin snapped up; her spine seem to freeze. /No. No. There's
nothing here, nothing here, nothing here. Nothing do you hear me?/ She
forced her breath out slowly.

	It was not the usual wording. Most prayers asked to be spared the fifth
god's attention, the master of all disasters out of season as He was.
