Falke gave a considered, measured response, which Gideon appreciated. It was honest, rather than the frequent reassurances he got that people felt the Gods all the time, or the grumpy 'no's of those determined not to serve. "Maybe it's less about them guiding your hands and more about giving you the confidence and grace to do it yourself. Not to say I don't believe in your own skill - but sometimes we all could use a bit of encouragement."
He was glad to see Falke give the appropriate reaction to his news of Demi-Gods; it really was an amazing coincidence and he was still reeling from it himself, sure it had to be some kind of sign or blessing. Gideon nodded, settling back a little in the pew (which was difficult, because they were uncomfortable and wooden, but somehow he made it look easy) and preparing to tell the story.
"The first I met outside the Citadel, in Halo. His name was Ronin and he seemed a sensible sort of man. Blessed by Safrin, he told me he'd come back from the dead, at some point - and I believed him." The affection he'd felt from the Goddess couldn't be faked, and Gideon had no trouble with accepting that if Safrin loved someone enough, she would help to pluck them back away from Mort's grasp.
"The second..." Gideon paused, his brows furrowing as he tried to think of a way to describe the encounter. "She didn't seem to be proud of her achievement at all. I'm not even sure she'd want me to give a name...odd woman."
{You\'re fine <3}

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
