shieldof[Faith's door remains closed, the brass "PRIVATE" plaque silent and unyielding. Trying to force the door yields no results, but- she said you could contact her here, so just go ahead and knock. Worst case scenario, you're no worse off than before, right?]

What a patronizing bastard.
[ Childe says this with actual surprise as well like, wow! The literal cojones on this (gender-neutral) guy. He just so happens to also genuinely really want to kill them even more - too bad they are well beyond his reach. The chance is practically zero. ]
Of course, that's what a mortal like me would think, differences in ideology and all! I know you're of a different mind too, it just sounds that way to me. I do kind of wonder what exactly they're supposed to be a god of as well...maybe that's probably another layer to their line of thought.

Very rarely, when we are in close communication, I get the barest glimpses of the scales on which they perceive things constantly.

Date: 2025-10-10 05:09 am (UTC)[ Childe wishes that it was a more of a simpler matter in this regard - but in some ways, it is. In that it is a being so large in concept, that thoughts in a conventional manner are potentially a bit beyond that.
...Though, there is something particularly odd about that phrasing as well - not in regards to doubting Faith. Rather, regarding the "concept" of the being. No, maybe he's overthinking...and he's not made for that. ]
I guess they're able to section off some things of their perception from you. Which makes sense, since it'd probably be too much information.
It doesn't hurt or anything, right? Perceiving those glimpses or communing.

It's- rather like a sudden rush of speed, or a moment of freefall, without the inevitable hard landing.

Date: 2025-10-12 07:55 pm (UTC)Sounds practically disorienting...so, "intense" is definitely an accurate word for it.
Though, I've got to wonder, how do you hold onto your sense of self? Practice? If you can't stick the landing, it'd be hard to make sense of anything, after all.
It can apply to a lot of things, but this too.
[ He can't imagine communing with a higher entity, but needing to make sense of surroundings in the face of a fall after such disorientation...personal experience can make him imagine something like that. ]

Communing with my god is something I've done to some degree or another as long as I remember. In smaller ways at first, though I would not have been able to recognize it as practice for my true purpose until later.

Date: 2025-10-13 02:14 pm (UTC)[ Given the entire situation at hand, it'd make more than enough sense if Faith didn't have cause to question it much.
But, never too late for her to think about the subject, at least. ]
...Speaking of which, what's the very first thing you learned that really caught your attention? You know, made you realize you got a rush or thrill about finding out more?

...I'm not strictly a mage, but I've got my own skill in magic, so I know it can take awhile when you're first trying to get a hang of it.
Is the first spell you managed to learn your favorite? Or is it another kind?
