[Richard blinks at the response, the corner of his lips curling into a subtle yet sardonic smile. "The insolence," he thinks to himself bemusedly. If he were to speak out such blasphemy he is certain it would cost him his head. Yes, he just likes you even more now.] I have heard that people find comfort in that thought. In knowing that all of their suffering and happiness have meaning, or that we are not alone. God is looking after us like a shepherd after his sheep. But yes. I think I agree with you.
[The smile, however, freezes when Silco reaches out for his hand. Richard does not pull back or fight, allowing the contact. And when swiftly glances at their joined hands Richard could swear he heard whispering coming from somewhere. But that might have been the rustling of the leaves in the trees. Either way, the sound is highly unpleasant, making his skin crawl.]
I am no child. [It's all he has to say as he steps inside the cave, following Silco closely.]
