Hotaru
It’s a more philosophical question to Ru, though whether Lilliane meant it that way is unclear. “Perhaps he is merely waiting for us. Trapped, or testing us. Or maybe he likes to watch us grow from afar, as we do to plants.” After all, humans are so short lived in the eyes of a god. Ru is always pleasantly surprised by their empathy, but she never takes it for granted.
Taking the offered stone with a smile and placing it in her bag, the Valkyrie considers the question. “Oh it could certainly be blasphemy, but only on my part.” And Hotaru doesn’t mind that particular sentence. “For example Ludo can seem cruel, though it enjoys childish things. It doesn’t care as much for frivolous human matters. Grief is a human thing, I suppose it seems of little use to a herald that stands for death in its entirety. It can come off as callous - though usually only if you seek to ask it about death itself.” Or retrieving souls or lost companions, though that seems to be a Hotaru-only problem. Go figure. “I’ve only met Ludo and Frey directly, but admittedly I’m not the person to talk to about Safrin. We have a mutual hatred for each other.” Which is the real blaspheming, but Hotaru can’t help but laugh a little about it.
