Father Cyril didn't respond immediately, clearly pensive. It didn't seem like the man was lying.

He knew that was the kind of person Lucien was, considering Father Thomas had expressed his concern at the fact the man wouldn't think twice before helping injured animals when he was younger.

Without a word, he simply pushed the plate that held a couple more beignets in his direction, since he had made a few extras, before going back to his food.
