He listened as he spoke with his mind, hearing the catch of breath and letting curiosity lead his words, mentioning Melita and Diviners to see what recognition they might spark. Cera's whisper, full of more emotion than he had expected, brought his fluttering progress to a halt, and he hopped around to face his new friend, head tilted in concerned appraisal of the young man who followed in his wake. He chirred reassuringly at the apology, fluffing his wings as if to wave it away. No apologies, he spoke gently. The portals to this place cross space and time. Some have arrived from Helovia, others... have traveled worlds and lives between there and here, before finding themselves on Caido. Some have clear memories, others only have dreams. I've heard something of that world from them, though. The false god, the chaos, the destruction... He sighed aloud, an odd trilling noise as he watched Cera, hoping that it was friends and not enemies who he would find on this side of the portal.
Melita. Kiada. Deimos. I think... perhaps Rexanna, too. He listed the names he knew, the ones who had spoken of other lives in other places, but especially of Helovia, and knowing each other in past worlds. There may be others, but those are the ones I have spoken to, or heard of.
The raven bobbed his head in agreement at how well Cera understood the vagaries of gods and the differences between worlds and pantheons. Jigano had something of an easier time, at least, being an oracle rather than a priest, and having had his own lapse in faith several years before coming to Caido, but it was still comforting to know that someone else shared some portion of that feeling, something that Amalia and Rory, dear though they were to him, would never truly know.
She is happy to see people enjoying her creations, the bard reassured the traveler, croaking amusement at Cera's theatrics. She shouldn't be too hard to convince. Seek Devas Bakery once you are in the Settlement, and you'll find a good meal and likely another new friend as well!
