Arialla nodded. "Yes, that's a good way to put it. Gods and mortals simply operate on different levels of existence. We can't truly understand them, and there are parts of being human that they will never really comprehend, either."

Gods didn't have morals; they created morals -- and felt no need to comply with those humans came up with on their own. But since Sam kept the question to himself, Arialla had no way to weigh in -- not that he really seemed to need her input, anyway.

After talking to Safrin, I'm really trying to accept that I won't be going home. Ever. It's quite difficult, honestly. And I just ... don't really know what to do with myself."
please don't take my sunshine away
