"Actually-" He raised a finger, determined not to give in to this argument; any good priest believed in redemption for those not too far gone, and Gideon felt the Outlanders could rise above their lowly beginnings with enough work. "When I tell them of the Gods, many of them are thankful to know, and I've heard some have gone on to pray. No, I don't succeed every time, but every time I do, it's one less person vulnerable to the Voice. It's worth it."

The tears in her voice were obvious, but for the sake of their relationship Gideon again did his best to ignore it, nodding and looking determinedly down at his work. "That's true. And it's absolutely the safest route to take here in Stormbreak. I've just heard of a few Abandoned that have served the Gods, in the end, while I've been travelling...maybe I should ask next time I pray what they think of it."
