I liked the "may whatever sins she could have possibly sinned" in there. (It's actually "may whatever sins she has sinned" in the original.)
I should pull out a list of all Tosha's prayers; I had fun with them. (I had to dissect the rules to give Deb for when she was writing Barty's version -- he wasn't going to get all of it, because he didn't care for himself and he'd always just put it in the "Tosha's quirks" category, but by the Gods, Tosha believed, and that meant Barty was going to do his fucking best.)
(I don't know how clearly it came across, but: the names of the familial dead are written on a stele in the temple/chapel in the basement, because the belief is that as long as your name is still written, your souls will not die. Tosha woke up to find that Barty had carved his name in GIANT FUCKING LETTERS.)
Anyway, yeah. My favorite part of that whole interaction was Daph's last comment, to Tosha telling her he was coming to fetch her: "Is it time, then? Good. I'm ready."
