The difference...?

( Whe wasn't expecting a question like that at all and she turns her hands in her lap, thinking carefully.
She doesn't answer for a long while as she carefully thinks over how best to explain,
)

I... I suppose a prayer is something can make at a-anytime when you want the heavens to hear you b-but a wish is somethign special. Y-you make wishes when the heavens and spirits seem are said to be most susceptible to our desires. I-it's why we only make wishes when something special happens... like a star falls or at certain festivals or places. ( Was that okay? Did it sound like she knew what she was talking about? Because she sure as heck doesn't and she fidgets nervously in the same spot. ) I believe today is supposed to be a special day w-when the heavens are feeling most generous, right?

Th-that's what I think, at least. I could be wrong...!

( The disclaimer at the end means she can't be faulted if she's wrong, right?! )

As for the paper... p-perhaps it's to make our wishes seem more official? L-like a contract between gods and mortals...
