Cool guys don't look at explosions, even if they're imaginary
Edmund commits the information to memory, feeling sorry for the Abandoned. "So the Gods call them Abandoned instead of Acquired because they don't like them? They think that they'll end up like that new God?" It was very mean of them and didn't make complete sense. "But wouldn't being mean to them make the Abandoned want to turn against the Gods? Shouldn't they be nice to them to stop it form happening again?" Making friends instead of enemies makes more sense to the child and the concept of blaming all for the actions of one is beyond his comprehension.
Hearing about Safrin sets the child at ease however. "So even Safrin doesn't like the Abandoned?" Edmund snuggles closer to his mum as she speaks of Safrin's love for him. "Will you tell me more about her, mummy? Will I get to meet her again one day?" The Goddess had been so warm and had made him feel so safe. Edmund would love to see her again.
