I always figured if you were vis, you were dealing with stuff. I swear 75% of the time, I see an imm, and run to their shrine they are already talking with a mort. I usually like to give the pair space unless asked to join. It irks me if I make the effort to get an imms attention via prayer or arranged meeting (if I have odd times) and someone else crashes the party.

Or, if they are vis and not at the shrine, they are often dealing with Cabal matters.

I have never really viewed as an advertisement that you are free.
