[SE] Those We Lost

GIDEON

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true

"Oh, you're telling me about the Gods now?" Gideon asked, amused sarcasm in his tone; he tilted his head at her and crossed his arms, but really he had to admit she had somewhat of a point; a moment later he relaxed and laughed with a shrug. "Yeah, probably. It's hard not to let my personal feelings get in the way with this one, but...you're right."

What he really didn't expect from Luciana was an invitation to a personal conversation, something he'd never considered having with her. Gideon blinked a couple of times in surprise, unsure of what to say, watching as she went to grab her supplies and prepare the metal. After a moment when he'd gotten over the shock, he tried to find a way to easily slip into and out of the topic of his brother.

"Oh, there's not much to say. Family black sheep, ran away, never seen him since. Probably for the best he's gone; he hated it here." Attempting the best casual shrug he could, Gideon leaned against a counter.

That's why I hold with all I have
That's why I hold
