[That much he gets, at least; he nods as she explains. So the ghosts - vengeful spirits and sense-stealing ghosts alike, he'd imagine - are separate entirely from the gods. It's not uncommon for factions to exist among spirits, of course. Just being from the same plane of existence doesn't mean anything else will be shared.

It's just harder for him to grasp the rest of that. Kashuu is a spirit, and he understands that gods are often given sacrifices, or even demand them. Blood sacrifices aren't strange to him either, even though the practice has long since died out. But... somehow, with how much he'd come to like Ardeo, it feels like a sharp betrayal.

He'll go talk to Ardeo himself later, even though he probably shouldn't. For now, he just nods once more when she's done talking.]

I get what you're saying. Thanks for letting us know. Any possibility should be looked into closely, right? That's the only way to figure out what's true.
