Not entirely convinced both that Peter. I would think the conversation must involve a trip to the Gods Plane, since that's what major rituals do, and so it is effectively a HeroQuest, even if it's a very well defined one. It's also important to remember that the evangelical Lunars are very unusual. Their whole system is built on heroquests, so even if the individual does not themself tread a hero path, that'll only because others have quested so often and hard that it becomes ' normal'.
