The water and the care to his wounds, while not a balm to the overwhelming ache and exhaustion, helped take the edge off; Gideon sat up, sipped at the water. As soon as he could, he'd get off the altar, but for the moment it was all that was keeping him somewhat upright.
Both of them had questions, of course they did. Would they even understand, though? Gideon sighed, looked down to the loose flagstone he'd kept the fluid beneath, now ajar and skewed with scrape marks along the stone surrounding it. "I...A while ago Ludo tasked me to gather fluid for a mission. I did." A knife to the throat, a frantic and messy process of filling the bottles, a furtive trip to the woods - it had been so much more than those two words, but the confession wasn't necessary.
"...I got more than I needed. I thought I'd keep it in case we needed it again. But..." He shook his head, coughing and finding himself glad not to see any blood on his hand. "I should not have kept it here. This is a sacred place and there's little more that could be more blasphemous. I'm covered in the stuff." Disgusted, he shivered as he looked down at his sodden torso.

I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
