The burly pugilist scanned his eyes over the treeline, peered to the road ahead. A quick search to see if anything seemed out of place or indicative of a setup. Momentarily satisfied, he returned a good chunk of his attention back to his two new associates. 

[color=b8860b]"Dunno if we got near the same philosophy there, priest."[/color] Keystone scoffed at himself, continuing, [color=b8860b]"I'd imagine I'd have to have one, first."[/color] 

Keystone took a few seconds to absorb what Persephone shared, partly nodding in agreement, partly just regarding blankly. They didn't quite align perfectly with their world outlook, but at least it was enough to keep them in pleasant conversation for a while. Too much concordance made for boring talk, anyway. 

[color=b8860b]"Now, temples I trained in taught lots of different ways on how to think. Not [i]what[/i] to think, but [i]how[/i]. Didn't make a lot of sense at first. These lads, all about concepts like "balance" and "finding your emotional center", or some such yankery. But I tell ya, I'd beat red piss outta m'self from years back, thanks to them. Maybe something's to it all, then."[/color]

That probably wasn't the answer either of them wanted to hear, particularly not the priest. Maybe it was better this way. As he understood it, a cleric pondering too hard on the spiritual insights of other teachings was in danger of losing their abilities granted by their patron deity. Then again, what good is iron faith if it can be so easily cracked by a simple conversation in the morning, walking among the trees? While he may not have an etched philosophy, such as it was, he did have something of a series of guideline ideas he leaned near from time to time. 

[color=b8860b]"Code of Behavior's a bloody hangman's rope. Put in stone how you're gonna act, some daffy bastard's apt to club you to death with it. The monks did get me thinkin' one one thing, though - What's gonna happen is gonna happen. Change it, move with it, or get out the way. Learn what you can, maybe help out a bugger every now and again."

"When it comes to it, right and wrong's easy to suss out. Question's always what you're gonna do about it."[/color]
