[The device turns on in the middle of Med'an speaking. His voice sounds solemn and measured, and clear although he's obviously turned away from the communicator.]

...me the way. Give me the strength to overcome what challenges cross my path. Let me walk boldly and with grace.

[There's a pause. The only sound in the kirk is his breathing. The next part is a little less sure of himself, as though he's struggling how he wants to phrase it.]

Help me to defend my friends against our enemies. I have only begun my training as a paladin in the service of the Light, but...please walk with me through all of my journeys. And continue to fill me with tenacity and compassion.

May it be so.

[ Huh. That almost sounds a little like a prayer. Ange isn't really one to pry, but since this feed is up it's enough to make her a little curious. ]

... Med'an?

[audio]

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

[!!! His communicator is stalking him.]

Yes?

[audio]

[entreats]

Your communicator was recording just now. In case you didn't notice. [ Yup, as curt and to the point as always. ]

[audio]

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

It must have turned on by itself somehow.

[Or fairies. Named Molly.]

I was just doing my meditation.

[audio]

[entreats]

It tends to do that. It's just sort of annoying, honestly.

Meditation?

[audio]

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

I hope I didn't disturb you. [Very politely. Sometimes it's hard to tell with Ange's linefacing...]

Yeah. I have to meditate on the Light every day - it's part of my training as a paladin.

[audio]

[entreats]

[ oh god, Med'an, so cute.. ]

I don't care. Any distraction in this place is as good as any, I guess.

[ She actually pauses for a moment, because.. welp, she's around Med'an so much yet there's still quite a lot she doesn't know about him yet, huh? ] Meditate on the Light? Sounds interesting.

[Nyoro~n....anyway, he's kind of interested in this subject himself. He's a fairly new student - at least, compared to his mage and shaman training - but he might actually...like it the best?! GASP.]

Do you have the Church of Light on Earth? I've heard people talk about a god before...[That's not exactly the same thing, though.]

[audio]

[entreats]

It's not exactly called the Church of Light, but yeah, it's a little bit like it. Although we have all sorts of religions.

[ No matter how long she's here, it will always feel somewhat strange to talk about 'Earth' as if it isn't something normal to other people. Even if Med'an is green and has little tentacles on his chin. ]

Some involve meditation as well.

[audio]

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

Well, every group will have its own religion, I guess.

[They have Light and Loas and Titans and moon-goddesses and all sorts of things!]

What is the Church like? Do you meditate, Ange? [That would be a little weird...but maybe fitting too...she seems like she thinks a lot at least...]

[audio]

My aunt had sent me to a catholic girls' school back home, but I can't say I really believed all that much.

[ There's a small pause. St. Lucia doesn't have many happy memories for her, after all. ]

But I guess I've sort of meditated there before. The morning and evening prayers were obligatory, after all.

[He's nodding offscreen.]

I hadn't really thought about the Light much before I met Uncle. He's the one who encouraged me to be a paladin.

[Not in that he scoffed at it, but just that it wasn't something he thought about often.]

I have to do it, but I don't really mind, I guess. The Light is comforting.

[audio]

[entreats]

Hmm, I can see why people are interested in that sort of thing. I just never really cared because it was so forced, I think.

... Did you get along well with your uncle?

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

If those are your wishes, you must attain them through your own efforts.

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

[!! What is that supposed to mean....unsure....]

I am. Through the Light.

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

How will that accomplish anything?

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

[Oh boy indeed. Homura why so negative?]

I draw strength from the Light, and that...that helps me accomplish things. The Light supports me.

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

Then you can't do anything under your own power?

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

[They are going to get along great 8) ]

What? [W-what you say...?! He's never really thought about it like that. Or had anyone else think about it like that. He....he doesn't know if he likes it....]

No, that's not...the Light doesn't replace my power, the Light is my power. Or at least part of it. [Merf.]

There's nothing wrong with drawing support from theology.

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

That is dependent on the religion that you're drawing power from.

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

[Sobbbb 8( ]

You don't like religion?

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

I have no use for it.

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

...well, I guess it's not necessary for some people. But I've found a lot of comfort in it. It's helped me when I needed strength.

[contract-this.livejournal.com]

Did the strength come at any cost to you?

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

No....

[He thinks about his triumphant battle with Cho'gall.

And how his grandmother died in it.




But that isn't the Light's fault. That's Cho'gall's fault. Even though she died to save him, her grandson - ]

The Light gives freely. All you have to do is listen.
