[ Alucard does have a way about him that gets Himeka to spend more time analyzing her own initial assumptions. She has a bad habit of thinking that thinking is someone else's responsibility, regardless of her own capabilities. But she can readily share what she has learned simply by living in Solvunn for so long. ]
The New Gods do tend to be more popular with younger folk. I assumed it was just because the Old Gods have already been so ingrained in ritual and culture that traditionalists would lean that way. The Old Gods are responsible for all the basic things we see in the world around us...light, air, water--they kind of are the world in that sense. But they believe that the New Gods were created by those Old Gods to begin a period of change.
[ Though now that she thinks about it... ]
...Which is kind of funny considering they're so afraid of change they don't want to really invoke the New Gods nearly as much.
[ It makes her think back to her early training at Shisui's Palace. The priests had very specific kami they liked to invoke and could never fully explain to Himeka why it was only those that needed the most care. ]
Then Viktor is doing the right work! I know I've gotten spoiled back home with what I could get. Though it is kind of charming cooking in a more rustic environment at the Inn. Did I ever thank you for doing such a good job from my ideas?
[ Her barely legible plans, yes. But she doesn't see it that way.
Himeka smiles at the praise in turn, pausing only to take another sip of her cider. The warmth on her throat and tongue is indeed perfect for this time of year. ]
Back home. [ She does not mention they are dead. ] And I've found it's hard to stay in one place for very long. Not being able to leave Solvunn drives me crazy at times, you know! If I wanted to go fishing in Thavnair but have dinner in Old Sharlayan I could do it in a matter of minutes back home--
[ Oh but now she's thinking. ]
--then again, the food scene in Old Sharlayan is one of the most embarrassing things I've seen for a city of damned scholars. They hold all the knowledge of the world in one place and what do they do with it? Create a loaf of bread that sits like a brick in your stomach and tastes no better than one too. Can you believe it, Alucard? See, that's another reason why I have to go back. They have one good restaurant in the whole place and that just won't do!
[ She shakes her head and reaches for a little rice cake, taking a bite before continuing. ]
If I can help build a cafe at the end of the universe, I can definitely get some stuffy old lectors to appreciate a good sandwich.
