Another I.

Malcolm is not really a man who prays. Instead, his presence in the church is more investigative. He likes to examine the temples on each of the islands just to see what he can glean from them, what secrets about the nature of them being here might be imparted. He's looking at a stained glass window depicting a large, standing wolf, when he hears the whisper behind him. Even though the noise is soft, it carries in the cavernous space.

He turns to find the woman sitting at one of the pews. Malcolm moves closer, not intending to eavesdrop, though her words grow clearer the closer that he gets. She finishes and stands, then notices Malcolm.

He nods to her. "Finish your time here quickly?" Malcolm asks, trying to clarify what she was saying. Perhaps it's none of his business, but he does not recall seeing here before and he wonders if she's new.
