Falke's words humbled Gideon a little, the reminder that he saved people quite literally instead of the more metaphorical salvation he offered (not that he didn't believe in the very real effects of spiritual rescue, but there was a difference between that and the gory work of surgical blood and bone). He didn't know enough of the man's injury (or was it an illness?) to know how effected his ability to kneel was; but truthfully, sitting was just fine. He wouldn't pick on that point too much.
"Do you find that the prayers help, when you're working?" He asked out of interest. Gideon felt it was useful to talk about the times the Gods 'failed' them (though truly, the Gods didn't fail so much as humans expected the wrong things), if that had been the case for Falke.
It was interesting, given which Gods held affection for him, which ones Falke prayed to. With an amused, knowing smile, Gideon nodded; it was often the way. "We do have a wonderful world. I've been doing some exploring myself, recently; Halo truly is a place of cold beauty...but I worry it will fall to the wrong influence." He sighed, shook his head. "At least there is some presence of the Gods there; I met two Demi-Gods in a day, if you can believe that."

GIDEON
You claim to be virtuous, but you're a liar
And you'll feel the heat of the flames
And you'll feel the heat of the flames
