(ooc: lol I swear I can read, must've been tired writing my previous reply xD)
My meal mostly finished, I happily petted and scritched the gryphon who I now found perched across my shoulders, a soft grin lining my lips as the creature brought easy joy to this moment for me. I couldn't help but wonder if I would ever be blessed with the bond that reaches across species, the empathic link that would change the way I think the world works. Magic, I wonder to myself, what a curious thing.
"Yes I intend on staying here for the LongNight - I'll be sure to bring back what I can after your lecture - books and supplies for the people," I comment with a grin, happy to have a job, a goal, a purpose in this new life I have found myself in.
I listen intently as he graces me with more information, speaking of these Old Gods and their relationship to the land, I cannot help but think of all the mythology and tales from Earth - but it feels different here. It feels like these beings may actually exist, that they may simply possess great power, that they have found the key to living for eons and have found enlightenment, found the ability to look at the world as a whole rather than get lost focussing on all the petty little things that sentient life might get up to.
I wondered what would happen if I ever become a god - if such a thing was even possible?
More questions, always always I would have more questions.
"Have you ever met one of them?"
