[SE] Those We Lost

GIDEON

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true

Luciana's question was the less positive way of looking at the situation, and all Gideon could do in response was shrug. "My job is to try, not to predict the future." He was on Caido to save souls, to guide people towards the Gods and away from the temptations of the Voice; as long as he was doing that, he didn't think he could much go wrong.

It was obvious, even as she turned around, that the topic of Abandoned had gotten personal for Luciana. Smart enough to put two and two together and not ask anymore, Gideon gave the easy answer for when he had nothing else to say: "Next time you pray, ask about it. You'll get a better answer than I can give."

With that said, he reached forwards to take the lantern from before him and hold it up. Not the most complex thing, but good enough, and when the light from the window hit it it almost looked good. "Well, I think this is about as much as Jonah deserves. Thanks."

That's why I hold with all I have
That's why I hold
