[Olivine nods his understanding, the words more militant than he's used to, but he could imagine Edmond must feel the same way. the man's certainly a lot more... reserved than the priest had ended up.]

I've gotten much more comfortable with myself since I met Eiden, but even in the past two years, it's always been on my mind. A priest should be... a very specific type of person, after all.

[an ideology he clearly does not fit. he's far too open, far too human, for that level of perfection. it doesn't seem to affect him as much here though, especially not now.]

So I just realised what I'd done a bit later and it was a little embarrassing then. I wouldn't change having done it.
