[ john startles a little at the mention of the Sixth House and has to remind himself that it's really not that surprising that other places might also have at least six notable Houses-with-a-capital-H. it's not like he dug deep for creativity on that one. he'd built his society up from the Resurrection and in remembrance of what was lost, which is to say that in terms of useful material for appealing to the dead, he has plenty to work with.
he kneels and clasps his hands behind him, digging his thumb into the gash at his wrist, partly to staunch the bleeding and partly to keep his head clear. he has a tendency to drift as it is, and the way Communion feels right now has not helped in that area. he looks like he's ready for a firing squad more than a ritual.
john doesn't sing — he doesn't even try because he knows better — but recites each line clearly. quetzalcoatl won't be the only one to invoke herself here, at least. ]
