Aonghas wasn't sure if Loren's reference to praying to the Gods was merely a figure of speech or not. However he didn't have time to give that pause for thought as the young man across from him continued. Saying the name of what people like himself in this land were referred to as. Accepted? He supposed that just meant ordinary. He already decided he didn’t like that term, especially applied to himself. Then when he heard the mention of Gods looking favourably upon his prayers he knew the previous statement wasn't just a turn of phrase and Aonghas' expression darkened. A short humourless laugh was his initial response to it all; his distaste for deities quite apparent. He knew all too well just how dangerous Gods could be.
”The Gods granting my prayers? Aye, that’ll be right” He was certain the sarcasm in his voice just rang out as bitterness. ”Callieach Bheur, has been the reason for all my misfortune as of late – and no doubt the cause of my showing up here! Now I’m stripped of my essence she’ll grant my prayers? I can’t see her being that gracious all of a sudden”. The penny hadn’t quite dropped, that his Gods were not in fact the deities of Caido. It hadn’t occurred to him that they wouldn’t be. Mostly he was just blinded by the idea of yet more God meddling that he didn’t even bother with trying to use reasoning.
However when he heard himself speaking a little faster and with a slight rise in volume it made him stop and clear his throat. Realising his anger was misplaced he apologised "I uh, sorry. My relationship with the Gods isn't exactly a happy one." A conscious effort was made to soften his expression again as he hastily swiped a blonde curl out of his eyes.
