LOREN
That worked for Loren. ”Let me know what they say, or if you need help setting up a shrine for them.” While he didn’t know much about the gods, or religion, or devotion, or faith, he figured making a dedicated shrine to a higher power was a surefire way to at least not offend them, and maybe even score some points. That was doubly true if Frey didn’t have one already, like the other gods with their sacred spaces. Even to him, that seemed like an odd oversight. And if it was deliberate, well, probably a good reason and all that divine mumbo-jumbo.
Well, apparently the greater gods did sometimes deign to talk to mortals. ”I know Ashetta.” She had neglected to mention her encounter with Mort. However, they hadn’t really talked much during the few times he’d seen her since his return, nor was that something that would come up in normal conversation. ”Wouldn’t that be true of the lesser gods too? That we’d be seen as beneath them?” Then again, he could actually answer that one on his own. ”Not that they respond to my prayers anyway, what with being an Abandoned and all.” He sighed, then took another bite of the pie rather than let Phoebe ask him how he felt about all that. ”What does that mean, though? Keeping the world in balance, or whatever else you think they do?” She’d probably just rage against the unnatural nature of The Voice and the Ascended, but surely the elder gods couldn’t be wholly consumed by that battle.
