Kel did glance up at Zeph as the man wandered away from the signs, but there was a flicker of a smile in his eyes as the old timer avoided the task. He turned his attention back to his own sign, going for something a bit less garish than Oliver's eye-catching contrasts. As a man recently outcast himself, he wanted to imbue his sign with a sense of comfort and reassurance for those who would be displaced.
Even if it would only be temporary.
Finishing his own design of simple vines around the arrow, he set the sign aside to dry and looked to Sam for what he thought would be a release from the day's chores. Instead there was another hurdle to clear, and this one was another that reminded the young hunter how little he belonged here among these people, in this world.
"...I'm... sorry," he said softly, shrinking in on himself. "I'm just... an outsider. I don't know... how people worship here." The word twisted on his tongue, the insult that Alina had made it clear it was still stinging in his heart. Their gods were not his gods, and he knew little enough about them, even though he'd seen Ludo from a distance once or twice. He didn't want to worship these strange deities, though, and it felt disrespectful - sacreligious, even - to build shrines for gods he had no love for.
Not knowing what else to do, he trailed after Zeph, wondering if he should perhaps just slip away rather than intrude on the celebration of the two grounders and their local friend.
Kellan doesn't know anything about Caido shrines or worship, so he follows Zeph like a lost puppy.
