(to that, lessa raises his hands.) There need not be a physical shrine except when one is built to honour one's God. It is not necessary, however; there is a metaphorical shrine in everyone's heart that they may visit anytime.
Is that not why you were praying aloud to Rex Lapis without a worldly representation of him?
(he notes that xiao has had a strong reaction to his touch, and for a moment, lessa wonders if he has inadvertently hurt him. his changes have been great in the last century; it's possible that his true nature could inflict pain on others with just a hand. would it not be his decision to do so, however?
no, it was not his hand but he should perhaps be more mindful of himself. with a gentle shake of his head, he turns back to the grandiose temple and far smaller shrine. he has met these gods before. he can feel their influence.)
I am very interested in your God, but I am more interested in what you would ask of him. Many people here are... suffering. I have felt it. And I thought that I could perhaps... provide you with at least one thing you wanted.
