Then it's good that the advice I intend to give is in how to make them think your enforcement is something to accept, not in what to enforce, isn't it? No, I may call you an idiot who doesn't understand what part of a man makes him what he is, but I only care to argue that point so far.

You assume I do not have abundant experience with unpopularity, newcomer.

My work is unpleasant and unloved, Monsieur, but that does not make it unnecessary. I know my place. May you find yours in this society quickly.

Oh, no, I would never assume you don't know what it's like to be widely disliked. What I do assume is that you've never had to invent authority out of whole cloth before. You were always a dog to some greater machine, never an agent of your own conscience - I'm right, aren't I?

Come on. You aren't even a little curious about what I have to say?

Ah, there is more? Here I thought you were finished. Out with it, then, and say what you have come to me to say.

You'll find that I am finished very rarely.

I've already told you that I am God-touched. Within my warband, every man offers his devotion to the same Lord as I - or, at least, the form His face takes within their mind. You must think that makes it easy for me, when I speak as the most beloved of Slaanesh's most beloved.

It doesn't. I tell those men not to kill each other like beasts when they're bored, and they grumble at me for taking away their fun. I tell them they may slip their leashes and indulge, and then they whine about it when they've turned things to shit with their own mistakes. The authority of God, even when the lot of you agree its authority is true, means nothing in the face of what the heart desires.

Living souls only respond to two things: force, and their own self-interest. Either you need to find an example to make, or you need to learn how to cater to the latter.

Practical advice. Unneeded, but practical.

I allow my work to speak for itself, Lucius the Eternal. Judge by my actions once you have had the time to observe them. Anything short of that is rumor and gossip.

Good day to you, Monsieur! May we meet soon.
