"Heartbeat." Abasi repeated, clearly confused, but not wanting to question it anymore. It seemed like something Loren thought was obvious and he did have enough of a self conscious to not want to look stupid in front of his boyfriend. "You get me more excited than most...well, all, really, people ever have. You incite a lot of emotions in me that many fail to." This was practically romantic poetry from Abasi and he smiled, looking over at Loren as he spoke.
Loren's question made him laugh, frowning with a smile still on his face. "Do you...not know? It is a rather important skill, when you live in a place that regularly floods...besides. When it was an especially hot day, swimming in the river could be the most wonderful thing to do." It was one of the only times in his past life he had really let loose and enjoyed himself, especially in the company of other people.
"Interesting, that you all worship the same Gods. Though...I suppose when the Gods are as...present as they are here...it is harder for people to have differing opinions. There can be no non-believers, either." He wished he could go back and discuss this philosophy with the spiritual leaders of Earth, see what they would say, but he only had his imagination and memory. "Would you...said you lived your life by the will of the Gods here?"
ABASI
it's sad to know that we are not alone
it's sad to know there's no honest way out
