I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
It was an easy statement to agree with and Nathaniel found himself nodding along. "They really do. Thankfully Val always seems ready to handle him. Even after full days of training." He said with a grin that quickly faded when Gideon spoke again.
The priest easily knocked him down a few pegs and he felt like he was speaking to his father. While Alexander wasn't an incredibly pious man or even overly religious, he'd always respected the gods. To hear his son speak this way would result in a similar scolding on Nathaniel's part. Instead of coming from him, it was the priest doing the work for his late father. Nathaniel grimaced, eyes dipping down, "I don't mean it like that... Just- I don't know who I would serve the best. I'd be happy to serve any of them, but.." He trailed off, pursing his lips. Surely one of them would fit him better than the rest, right?
"I do show the proper decorum... I was raised to. I take my brother and I pray." Not as much as he should, but he does. "He took a liking to Ludo." Nathaniel offered as if to say 'see, I know what it you mean'.
