Wandering, I chanced upon
A wayward child lost anon
It seemed despite her outward appearance of not caring, Amalia actually did want to know what went on. Smugly taking a bite of his pastry, Gideon filled her in, gesturing about with one hand as he spoke: "Her name was...Arialla? I think? I found her on the beach in a pool of blood. Badly wounded, bite on the neck." He waved his fingers about his neck, sure that Amalia knew what to visualise.
"I prayed and sure enough the Gods healed her, using the sea. It washed over her and when it was gone, she was healed." He beamed proudly at this, happy his intervention and petition to the Gods had worked. "She told me she had been attacked by an Ascended on the beach for her blood - awful. I told her she's welcome here anytime, if she would like to see a sanctuary without their influence."
As for the fire, he really couldn't say. "I know nothing else about it. They don't want to talk to me when I tell them the truth about the Ascended." Gideon shrugged. He didn't know anyone he cared about in Torchline and didn't know that Amalia did.
The leaders around the world were too trusting of the Ascended, it was true, but Gideon only saw that as inspiration, all the more reason to work and fight. He silently nodded at her comments on them; in time the Gods would make their judgements and corrections. At Amalia's second comment though, he shook his head. "They've recently added protections. I can't go there anymore. I don't know if you'll be able to. It's becoming a real Ascended stronghold."
