Istredd flinches, mostly because he knows that it means his followers have been stupid again. They usually are so clear-headed! Of course, he thinks that, but they really aren't. They're as ridiculous about knowledge as humans are about anything. "Usually they have very well-reasoned arguments for my blessings." He does hear them out! He just doesn't always think forward to what is next.

"I think they have a new leader I missed the election of." Istredd's cult mostly work on their own so he's not always keyed into leadership. Considering a few people have warned him about this lately, it looks like he might need to step in. He sighs. "I'll handle it."
