[Cecil hadn't known he had a son. He hadn't known how quickly he would grow to love that son, nor how heartbroken he would be when the boy would flee the relative safety of his household due to the tiniest of scuffles with a good friend. A good friend who, evidently, had been wildly and passionately lusting after the woman who is now Cecil's wife. Let alone the things he's been doing with Cecil's own adopted daughter. It's been a hard month, and it just became harder with the tree event and subsequent loss of his son's presence in the house. It hadn't taken him very long to become completely enamored with that boy.

This time, lacking a proper confidante, Cecil is attempting to resolve his inner struggles without a physical outlet. He's gone out to the desert today, dug his blade into the sand, and knelt before the design on its hilt. He's having a moment of prayer, but won't mind discussing it if he's interrupted. All are welcome.]

[He pulls himself upright after a short pause, though his gaze remains skyward until the woman appears before him.] Ah... Good afternoon, Milady. Might I help you?

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

I apologize for the intrusion. I was patrolling the area when I saw you, and I grew curious.

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

No intrusion at all, dear lady. I've settled myself in quite an open area. It is to be expected. But curious? Whyever so?

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

It is the first time I've seen someone pray here, though it might be because other religions are more private.

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

Ah... Forgive me if I've offended your sensibilities with my actions. It is unlikely that my prayer was heard from this distance anyway.

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

Oh -- I am not offended. I am actually pleased. It's good to know that there is still faith, no matter what kind, even in this world.

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

I think that without faith, we all would have gone mad long ago from imprisonment.

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

I just hope our gods can hear us from here.

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

If we could only be so fortunate. Has Milady very many gods...?

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

I have quite a lot -- the entire Greek pantheon, in fact. [But she doesn't think he recognizes them.] And you?
