Gideon's features softened with understanding as he nodded, as if attempting to show his approval through his eyes, "Revenge is one of the strongest urges humans can feel, especially those who believe in a just society and feel they must exact equal if not justifiably harsher punishment." Gideon states solemnly, his face hardening as Beliya returned the question to his side of the court. He had foreseen the question rebounding but hadn't had the time to come up with some excuse as to why he was there. At loss for words for only a moment, he gathered his thoughts and shrugged.

Running a hand through his hair he gazed at the open field, his eyes losing their intensity and appearing more distant as he recalled the bane of his existence, the heavy weight that rested on the weak heart.

"I'm here to recuperate, as if I came here to enjoy some resort." He chuckles to himself before growing solemn again, "that sounds a bit pretentious, doesn't it?"

Gideon goes silent, remaining that way as he loses himself to his thoughts.
