[SE] Those We Lost

"Looks like you're doing exactly that, though I wouldn't call it shit." He recovered quickly, realising how his words might sound like an insult, because he actually really did value Luciana's work. She could do things he could never dream of accomplishing with a hammer and some material; the Gods gave them all their talents, and he was always in awe of how generously they could be given.

He knew she was not a frequent visitor to the Temple, and his ring told him that she was hardly devout. Hints picked up from the lantern she had made gave him enough insight to not be judgemental about it. "Well, if you ever want to start changing that, you can ask me for advice." There were many who felt uncomfortable when they began to pray, unsure of what to say or do; he had guided many into conversations with the Gods.

"I doubt I'm going to by now, but thanks." Gideon smiled before he left, holding the lantern close to his chest for something he 'didn't care' about; once he was out of the room memories of Jonah came flooding in now he had no distractions, and the lantern would keep pride of place in his room for a while.
