Only a little, [ Jeannot answers offhand, without thought or upward glance: of course not. Freddie is terrifying when wrathful.
But then his eyes still on his book and he hums thoughtfully before he goes on with arch and only mildly guilty thoroughness: ]
Andraste is with the Maker, and until the Herald emerged from the Fade she had not truly interfered with us for a thousand years. However great her disappointment, she will leave you alone. And you need not face the Maker's wrath until you have died or He has returned, whichever is first to occur—or you need not face His wrath at all, if you die penitent and obedient. That is more likely to occur if you reach old age, and you are more likely to reach old age if you do not anger Freddie. In this way, fearing Freddie most of all is nearly an act of faith.
