Happiness is not an ideal of reason but of imagination
I was happy that she would linger to talk more, to share information on seemingly whatever question I threw at her, despite the emotions it stirred up within her. I smiled as she chuckled and declared me her student to be taught - a title I regularly gave myself in these similar situations.
"Sure," I agree easily, happy to tell her about my homeworld, my life before the Voice snatched me away and placed me here. "The gods on Earth were invented by man, designed to make it easy to control the masses." My words were offered with succinct simplicity, hopefully also clarifying why I wanted to know so much about the gods of this land - from my perspective, they very well could be as 'real' as the so-called gods of Earth.
"Life was good, despite it all. I was fortunate to be raised in relative privilege, given education and opportunities reserved only for a few." She was welcome to ask further, to seek clarification, on whatever tidbit she decided to cling to in my words.
"Tell me about your family - or families, I guess. Original family, and current?" I ask, using the words she had from before, wondering exactly what she meant by them.
