[Vierna looks at her sharply. Naeva's been obviously disturbed by most of what she's heard of Vierna's family's religion. There's no way that she'll be pleased by the answer to that question.

On the other hand, she did ask. And Vierna can hedge a bit, perhaps.] He subverted a ritual raid on an enemy force - and he was clever enough about it that none among his patrol realized what he'd done. We only discovered his actions when trying to discover why Lolth had withdrawn her favor from the entire House.

By rights, our mother ought to have sacrificed Drizzt then. She had some hope that his behavior could still be corrected, and put our House's best warrior to the knife instead.

The substitution... didn't help. It just cost us our weapons master and made Drizzt flee the city entirely.

[Vierna wasn't wrong. Naeva's expression doesn't change this time, but her eyes do take on a literal glow to them. She is quiet, for quite a long time, upon hearing this. Her mind is...racing. She cannot stay silent forever. And what good would it do, to decry these actions as evil? No one thinks of themselves as monsters.]

...Had such sacrifices regained Lloth's favor, once lost, before?

[If it had--if this was a desperate hope for survival--it's not better, but she can comprehend that need. If it hadn't...

If it hadn't, what hold did their Spider Queen have on them that wasn't fear?]

[Vierna meets that glowing gaze levelly, her own expression stony. It's not a time in her family's history she relishes, but she refuses to be intimidated or shamed over it, either.

The question is met with a shrug.] Sometimes it works.

...What a sorrowful decision to make.

[She sighs a little. There's no real heat to it--she hasn't meant to be intimidating in her anger, she's just not aware of how her Face Looks, honestly.]
