And to keep on going. Phoebe was very strong, he decided, to be brave enough to continue her work. A small smile tugged at his lips as he looked at her, with nothing but admiration. She was far more resolute than he could ever wish to be, through dark times she had stayed her path. And in the end she'd turned out rather amazing.
She finished her little speech, Killian nodded, smiling with her. She was right, in everything she told him. This world was his second chance, to fail and succeed and make choices. He just needed a little more time. "Thank you Phoebe, you... you're pretty great," he said with a contentedness about him, though his frustrations still buzzed at the back of his mind, quieted at least by Phoebe's words. He brought the pastry to his lips again, to finish it off with a few quick bites.
The golden haired girl offered him a suggestion, to go speak with the gods. Killian had passed a shrine once or twice, and the gods were certainly a hot topic around Caido. Though he'd tried so far to steer clear of him. It felt a little strange, to pray to a god that wasn't his own. Wasn't the goddess who had been a presence throughout his life. And also, he had mixed feelings about the higher beings, and how they could be so kind and yet so cruel to their creations. He didn't know what to think.
Though it was always worth a shot, and he would give it some thought. "So you've really met them? Can you tell me what their like? or is that like confidential Gods and Phoebe only stuff?" he asked, lightening as they shifted the subject from his past and his troubles.
