She almost but doesn't quite touch her hair. "I don't know much about the engineering or the physics involved."

Nod.

"I probably wouldn't understand it, regardless."

"If I knew enough I could teach you, but I'm not - specced for that. Better at the accounting stuff I taught you instead."

"Are there more accounting concepts we haven't covered yet?"

"Probably, though that wasn't my actual specialty either, I was more of a statistician."

"Well, I'm also interested in additional statistics lessons on other subjects."

"I'm sure we can find the time."

"Not a wolf." Eefa says after spying on him at dinner.

"Huh. I'm not sure what to do with that information but good to know."

Eefa nods. Not-wolves are barely less dangerous than wolves anyways.

Pelape is slightly less alarmed about the prospect of sharing Elysium with him this way, personally!

Since he's not actually doing anything wrong and isn't a wolf and Dragon's not twitching threateningly either - watchful waiting, for now.

"You look nervous, is your god a spaceship?" says Fifi at dinner one day.

"Is my what a spaceship?"

"Your god." she says, brandishing a pretzel stolen from a neighboring Laithan's plate.

"I don't have one of those as far as I know."

"Well, that's pretty bad news for the rest of the world."

"...why?"

"You don't have a god unless they're pretty good. Except for lying to you and killing people and also babies but bad."

"...lying to me and killing people including babies sounds pretty fucking bad."

"Oh, it doesn't kill the babies, they're just babies that are badly made."

"...still seems bad?"

"Yes you would be very upset."

"Yes."
