I'm quite happy to hear that- there is certainly history here, but it's history of a very different beast from what any number of us will have even had the chance to study, so the opportunity for such talks is incredibly welcome!

[The cheer is short lived of course, but it's clear he has a passion for the matter- however much he seems to feel obligated to set it aside.

...He is glad that Pucci is a priest, he finds. There is something comforting about the reassurances of someone in theory bound to a particular form of objective forgiveness, and as distant as they yet are, something to be said for the reassurances that come of strangers with no reason for platitudes.

A bitter thought perhaps, but then that might be the shade in him at the moment.] ...Thank you, Enrico. I...

....I don't believe I shall be able to know for myself, what will make me happier...but indeed, the assurance that it is no crime to move onward is something that perhaps will keep me yet afloat. I-

MraaaAAAAAAAA

[Queen has arrived, and her attempt to take a lap space is of course, foiled by the source being a shadow.] Oh dear- Queen, I'm sorry, but I simply can't support anything like this...

MRAAAAAAAAAAAA..!

[heaven_sent]

There certainly seems to be much to learn in this place and it ought to help keep the mind sharp. [That is his excuse, anyway, as much as he might have ulterior motives somewhere else deep down inside.

While he might be interested, himself, he does actually mean the words that he's saying. Whether it had been Jonathan or someone else that wasn't remotely catching Enrico's eye, the words would have remained the exact same. While many may focus on fire and brimstone, there is always the need to remember that their God is also a loving one and only wants for them to be happy at the core.

The human experience.]

I only speak what God has said to us, there's no need for thanks.

[... Oh, that is certainly a cat trying to find a lap and he's blinking slowly at her attempts. Animals, man. Though between the two of them, there's only one actual tangible lap here.]

I take it that she's used to your lap actually being a tangible thing? [Why is this also amusing?] I doubt that protesting is going to make him anymore solid, Queen.

[standless]

I should think that even the messengers of any matters are deserving of thanks all the same, as without, who could say if the words would have been properly received?

[Queen, through this, gives a small 'mrrp' as she appears to remember that there is Someone New Here. Unlike Athena who quite happily went to distract herself with her chew toy in another room, the small cat seems to eye Pucci with a discerning eye before trotting happily over.]

Aha! Careful then, it appears you've reminded here that you are solid- indeed however, I typically have the form of a demon actually...it's been a point of confusion for quite a few, I've been told it doesn't suit me at all, though I do admit there were rather few consequences to the state compared to others...

Typically, I would actually allow her upon my shoulder in fact! Though fortunately she stopped attempting this after the first few days of this...

[heaven_sent]

Mm, I suppose that is true. But it's always a strange thing to be thanked for something I should be doing.

[Oh boy, he's being eyed up by this cat. And... okay, well, he didn't actually expect her to be won over by him so quickly. Huh, well, okay.]

I wouldn't have thought a demon suited you, either, if we're meaning the Biblical definition of one. [Excuse him a second, he's just going to casually scoop Queen up and set her gingerly on his lap before lightly scratching her behind the ears. It's fine, don't question it.] Though demon has many definitions outside of that as well.

[Only after the first few days, huh?] You never know when a situation may have changed, I can't fault her for attempting it a few times if it's not your normal state of being...

[standless]

I imagine it helps that I'm quite a lot more....shadow-like? I would typically be much warmer after all.

It's difficult to say, if the definition can truly be called 'biblical'. Certainly in the context of where we are at this time after all, there can be no such thing, but the appearances associated draw quite similarly, just as the local 'Naphil' do with the idea of angels. Indeed, I expect that is why the names given were given in the first place.

[A chuckle however, as he returns to that first point.] Perhaps so, but then, one can consider it a token of indication toward a job well done as well- I cannot imagine many to be thankful for a poorly performed one after all!

[heaven_sent]

[Ah, right, the Naphil. Something he had recoiled away from when he'd read the definition. It would make sense that if demons were a thing that they would be...]

And yet this place does not seem to have any shade of Christianity of any form that I can find, but those definitions of both beings are fairly exclusive to the writing and branches... [At least in those capacities and appearances, of course they existed in other cultures and religions. But as far as he's aware, this is pretty accurate.

But back to the point at hand, certainly.]

No one ever thanks a Man of God for doing their job, it's what we're meant to do and meant to live by! [Clearly he's not arguing with him given the amused tone behind his words.] Though what use is a Man of God in a place such as this that does not believe in the definition of that God? It's truly a mystery.

[standless]

Indeed- I've heard theories at the Historic Society that they may have once been considered tributes to the Fog's siblings, 'Day' and 'Night', but it seems like a rather impressive stretch ultimately..! Particularly given that I have absolutely no troubles walking about beneath the sun, [he laughs warmly.]

Well! It should seem then that I've defied the typical, for I could not bear to leave such vital works without thanks. And while many of the populace have no such faith, at the very least I would think there more than just you and I. And, even still, there is great merit in the teachings there would be- to be good to one another, not for any greater reward but rather instead to simply perpetuate that kindness we know, is already a vital matter in a place such as this.
