I am, yes. [A nod! He is so fucking religious but no one knows what he's religious about.] My faith teaches basic tenets you could find in most others, really. Humility, endurance, love; things of that nature. Though it seems it's also a good deal more tolerant than some of the other religions I've heard of since arriving here... The god that I worship is very generous and accepting.
[HE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT!! And about his god who is so kind and loving and would never put him through trials that he couldn't complete.]
Mm, that's true. I've been very blessed to have found such a loving god, but I wouldn't have accepted a faith that wasn't accepting to others in the first place.
[He is truly the chillest Catholic anyone will ever meet in that regard.]
[Yeah!! What kind of loving god would allow that to happen under their watchful eye!
ANYWAY THE WAY THAT HE IS SO USED TO BEING CALLED BEAUTIFUL IN FACE but people rarely call him beautiful in soul... He's so clearly flustered by the compliment...]
Oh! Do you think so...? How very kind of you - thank you, Elysia. [ueueue... HE ONLY HOPES TO BE THE KIND OF SOUL NADIA WOULD BE PROUD OF!!!!] It seems there are many sweet souls here, which I suppose suits well.
[Surely even the troubled children deserve to be in Heaven...]
There aren't a terrible many of us, so I think that's a perfectly feasible goal, especially if we've all of eternity at hand.
[FOREVER TO GET TO KNOW THIS GROUP OF 40 SOME-ODD INDIVIDUALS that sounds hellish. But then, with a bit of a hum:]
There don't seem to be many similarities by and large... Rather, the differences are far more notable and prominent. That's interesting all the same, even so.
[HE DOESN'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT. OH PROFILE REVEAL IN A DAY, WE'RE IN IT NOW.]
I'd very much enjoy that, though. I've always thought continued learning to be crucially important in life, so if it's also important in death, all the better.
It is, yes. [STILL IS EVEN THOUGH HE'S DEAD... He will be a teacher until he gets obliterated from reality entirely.] I traveled through the districts of my home to teach at orphanages up until quite recently.
True enough! And it appears the future is quite vast and varied, if the past and present are anything to judge them from. That's heartening, don't you think?
I do. I think often, if the footsteps we make could lead our successors to reach a future that surpasses anything we could have ever had... that's the most romantic thing.

Are you religious, Lucas? What beliefs does your religion have?
no subject
Damn though, that really is turbo nunnery.]

[He says this with so much warmth!!]
May I ask if you hold any such faith?
no subject
It's difficult to find a religion or people in general that are full of tolerance and acceptance. Your god seems kind.
[ elysia really has no idea how fucked up the island lucas lives on is. ]
I like learning about the faith that people have. [ it's a genuine and sincere interest. ] But I don't personally follow any one religion.
no subject
Mm, that's true. I've been very blessed to have found such a loving god, but I wouldn't have accepted a faith that wasn't accepting to others in the first place.
[He is truly the chillest Catholic anyone will ever meet in that regard.]
Do you have any other beliefs, then?
no subject
I love hearing what you seek for in your faith.
[ people should have less hate in their hearts. ]
It makes me believe you have a beautiful soul. How about that?

I don't say anything I don't mean. That'd be silly. [ he should tell her about nadia soon. ] I do hope to learn about every soul here, if I can.
I wonder if there's anything we all have in common besides being sweet?

[ her 50,000 years people are finding out about... sometimes, people don't get seen even in those thousands of years, but it's fine. ]
Maybe it's our difference why we're here, so we can learn from each other. Wouldn't that be nice?

I can't wait to see what I can learn from you, Lucas.

Oh! How magnificent. It's difficult for orphanages to get that kind of help sometimes.... I appreciate what you do so much.
no subject
Thank you... I wanted to follow in the footsteps of my mother, and I'm very fortunate to have been afforded the chance.
no subject
To be able to chase and achieve a dream... that's wonderful. You deserve to have had that fortune.
no subject
You always say such kind things! It seems your soul is quite radiant, too.
no subject
It is, isn't it? It's because I want it to light the way for others.
no subject
I think it will do a wonderful job of that, my dear. I'm sure it already has.
no subject
Maybe it already has. [ she shouldn't just agree, but maybe it is true.... ] As long as there's a future, there's always a chance.
[ she means a future for others, considering where they are now. ]

no subject
I agree! It's the most important thing, being able to leave the children a future that outshines our own. I'm glad to find others who agree.
