"It's not what I want," Mirage corrected with a sigh. "It is what is required."
Mirage reached off the side of the bath into a bucket of tools, offering Cliffjumper a long-handled brush.
"You think you are the first person ever to interrupt a ceremony or walk in on a closed rite? Of course not. We have several ways to make amends, and this is the easiest and quickest."
Mirage didn't bother telling Cliffjumper that there were records of the more grievous offenses being dealt with in more permanent ways. In the heyday of the Priesthood, offering the offender's spark back to Primus was considered the ultimate purification.
...Even if that sort of thing had been an option, which it obviously wasn't, Cliffjumper's offense was mild. But it would have been so amusing to see the look on his face.
