Wandering, I chanced upon
A wayward child lost anon
Not expecting the conversation to turn back to himself so quickly, Gideon took a moment to answer, considering it over. To an extent, a whim had brought him to Halo; a passing fancy for a break from the monotony of his life and a chance to see something new, but there was more to it than that in the back of his mind. "I suppose two things, for the most part. Firstly, I'm sure you're aware of this sickness. Ghastly business - I wanted to see how far spread it was." Privately, Gideon had celebrated the news of a plague the Ascended could catch, but he knew better than to advertise that to a new acquaintance. "Secondly, I've heard this place is run by an Abandoned woman and frequented by Ascended...well, I just wanted to see how it was."
The judgement in his voice was probably obvious, but Gideon had actually been for the most part impressed with the Citadel; it had not been the chaotic nightmare he had been expecting. It seemed there were enough truly faithful left in the place to make it work.
"Never thought a humble Priest like me might get to meet a Demi God." He said, beaming, clearly thrilled. "You have to come and speak to my congregation sometime, please." With a guest like that, he could have them dedicated to their prayers for months! An Outlander no less, one who had crawled his way up from the Voice's tainted hands...an inspiration all around.
Hearing that Ronin's husband was ill, he frowned and patted his shoulder. "I'll pray for him. What are you hoping to do once you get to the Climb?"

And when he laid across my chest
My cutting stone it did the rest
