[ A soft scoff of a laugh. Perhaps between Tezcau and Set, he would have a chance, but he wouldn't put any faith in the rest of the gods. Not enough to save him should he need it.
Tezca kept speaking, and Silco's single eyebrow drew down in thought. ]
I didn't realize they were real, souls. Everything we have in the undercity, it is just the physical, the here and the now. Religion is... well, there is the occasional cult, but it is nothing like what he tried to take from me.
[ He'd been so, so ignorant. See, Silco is smart, ish. He's a back-alley thug who used his quick thinking, wits, and talents with numbers to get out of the mines, but he wasn't exactly building things for the people of Zaun. He was administratively? Sharp, almost a genius. Even with people β at least with the ones he dealt with in the Undercity β he knew how to work them.
When it comes to the theoretical? He simply can't fathom it. He's learning. He can at least research it, and he's been doing it in spades since Sebastian had pulled the wool over him. But he's still just simply... behind. He doesn't have the interest in it, it's all just information to use. ]
I do. [ he said, bluntly. Still, he shook his head, and sighed. ] Unfortunately, I'm rather used to not getting what I want. If I see the opportunity? I would take it.
[ His implant hummed unpleasantly behind his ever-open eye, and he winced with his mouth only. ]
However, I know the folly of being too fervent. In making oneself his sole focus. [ He'd been privy, after all, to quite a bit of it. What he had done to others in Kenos who caught his attention. ] I know better than to be stupid about it.
