To Roland, Sunny awkwardly flaps her hand.

"You flatter me, your highness." She says. "You shouldn't need to worry about being long winded, I'm one much for chatter myself." She offers him a smile. "And you'll have to forgive me, as I'm not sure how apt the comparison between Nature and your 'Saedore' is. I'm not at all familiar with your religion. And unless it has a counterpart for Progress as well, then I don't know even how similar they could be..." Sunny trails off for a second, eyes flitting away as she thinks, though they quickly return to Roland.

"But yes! You have actually requested information on the primary difference between my Progress and that of the Revotrian Republic. For, you see, the Republic has, for the most part, cut Nature from Her role in Progress's existence!" Sunny lets out a fake gasp, covering her hand with her mouth. "This is the most telling aspect of their blasphemy, as Progress cannot exist without Nature, and Nature cannot exist without Progress." She clasps her hands before her and closes her eyes, face reverent. "Nature is the progenitor, the source of all. She is the great provider of everything we have. From Nature we originate, and to Nature we shall return. She is the world, she is our greatest resource. Everything in this world is a gift from Nature. Everything from our bodies and our voices to the sky above our heads and the ground beneath our feet are from Her. Nature is generous, and gives us full use of Her gifts... But She is also a dangerous pitfall.
"For you see, Nature's pull is absolute. From Nature we originate, and to Nature we shall return. Nature shall always reclaim what She has lent us, and that much is certain. Our bodies will always fail, our minds deteriorate and our souls lose grip on this mortal plane, and all aspects of our being return to Nature's loving embrace. So what is poor mankind to do, if everything is reclaimed by Nature? Do we accept this? Do we do nothing with Nature's gifts? The fact that we are talking right now speaks otherwise. Well, your highness, the answer to that is simple. We don't relinquish Nature's gifts, and we don't waste them."
"We make Progress." Sunny opens her eyes, and they sparkle with joy. "And those are the basics. Any questions?"
