Both the butcher and his shadow’s attention focuses on Thalassa - interest flickering briefly across his face at her comment of Dygra. It was.. Interesting, to say the least, to hear her talk so brazenly of it. Perhaps it’s a rule of being infected, though, to play along and pretend like it is horrible, if only so the rest of them were unaware of her position and how it might have gotten a less than savory violet sheen.
Or, with the follow up, perhaps she’s probing. And for a moment he’s almost taken by surprise, that she would fish for information from him when they had only just opened up to one another. His smile doesn’t falter, the playing along completely in place as he shakes his head with a low hum of a laugh, but his shadow continues to watch her with that smile and amused eyes.
“Admittedly, darling, I could care less what the other gods are doing. Dygra has blessed us, why bother with wondering what the others are doing?” If it wasn’t clear before, his distaste of the other gods is palpable in the tone of voice he harbors. Dygra had been his ultimate savior, and to her he owed his life. And while Safrin had healed him thanks to Flora’s call, the stars that embraced him felt both healing and branding.
