4th letter | text
[Marcello was ungrateful for the rest he had been given. It was no fun depending on others or on anyone who you found it easier to detest. So he had packed his things and gone almost as quickly as his vision returned to his eyes. He had left without saying a word. It was not easy.
This time, he gave up trying to hurt his brother with words of his own. He sought those of others instead - but not to use them against Angelo, either.]
Greetings. Now I have recovered my health, I will ask this question: in this city, what parts are there to play for a man trained in the holy orders? The boredom of leisure is intolerable. I cannot see myself sat here doing nothing.
Regardless, I speak primarily of martial combat. I am also familiar with a wide range of literature. I equally acquainted with my world's scriptures, though that area is... Faith no longer interests me. I am perfectly willing to detail them for those who are interested, however.

[He had invited such people into his order. But he had held some belief in the Goddess at the time, however. His expression goes quiet.]
Faith does not prove anything. It is wanting to believe in something that isn't true and isn't there. [His tone is polite but scathing.] Our so-called divines always make promises that are too good to be true.
Re: Video
[It is true that men can serve God without themselves having faith, and not everyone in the Sacred Order of Holy Knights had believed in the higher cause. But by holy orders, Ky had assumed he meant some sort of priestly duties. Perhaps he'd assumed wrong.]
Regardless, if you doubt something simply because it is good, then I cannot understand that, can't see why you would wish to be so embittered against the world.
Video: sorry for the late reply, didn't want to give a LQ tag
[Marcello threw his truth on the ground and how Ky reacted to it was his problem. He remembered his training in politics too. All in all, he had done more than fight.]
In all honesty, there is not much I have to tell you; my faith is, as they say, my business. I do not think you, or anyone else, shall understand my decisions. Nor do I ask you to try.
Video
[Ky's eyes were blue-green, and bright with emotion.]
Faith seems a terrible thing to be without, and I'm sorry for your loss. But you can't actually suggest that one should recite verse and scripture as if they are just recitations, as if they mean nothing.
Video
[Marcello's voice is quite controlled and calm.]
Aside, it is not impossible that, for certain individuals, verse and scripture indeed mean absolutely nothing.
[And for some it had meant everything, but he's not talking to Ky about that.]
Video
[Ky's calm with a hint of fussy in there, he can't help this being something he cares very deeply about.]
And if that's the case, which it is for some, then how can they put their faith in that to protect them without believing in a Power who protects.
