"If I don't make sure you eat, I don't think you'd be here by next week." Gideon chastised fondly, going to sit next to her and starting on his own lunch. "And who will be our wonderful innovator then?" He actually greatly admired his skills (as he did the skills of all the Order members; there were many people deeply talented within their ranks), but it was easy to slip into teasing her. Gideon had never had children of his own, but he had always thought he would have liked to have been a 'fun' dad (that is, unless his children did something he didn't approve of. Then it wouldn't be fun at all).
An expansion; it struck Gideon as quite the ambitious project. "Wow. Who is this expansion meant to benefit? You must have an idea what you want the space to be used for. Something that grand sounds like a prayer space, but I assure you my Cathedral is big enough." In fact, he often found that he struggled to fill all the space he had in the halls.
