I distrust the fact that the gods see fit to buy our support.
[Not that she'd mind having a bar or a clinic or even a hot spring, or whatever Delight would bring, but it's still bribery. Maketh would rather have something useful, like a clinic but she's honestly worried about the price.]
[...Rather, a late fourteenth century understanding. But once again, Henry likes the way that Maketh's mind works.]
A small sacrifice for a larger gain seems a safe presumption of their intent. We conform to their precise desires without altering the balance of power in the slightest, for a trifling choice that mostly affords us the illusion of directing our own fates.
Perhaps we are giving this matter unproportioned thought, when the results rely upon the fancy of all.
[It's probably a good thing he hasn't realized she was wandering around with blast trauma when they first met. Thaaaat would be a fun conversation.]
It also puts them in a flattering light, the benevolent protectors. How kind they are to give us these things, as if they did not create this situation in the first place.
That assumes it is not somehow rigged. It would be a simple matter, after all.

Perhaps. I am giving it thought.
