[Gideon listens, and whilst it does kind of have the ring of a history lesson - she has always hated lessons of any sort unless they involve a sword - she pays attention regardless. She had asked after all.
She takes a seat at the table, not wanting to interfere with the laying out of dishes despite the urge to assist in some way-- this isn't really her forte, and she imagines Gilia has far more idea of what she's doing than she would herself.
She nods though, when the other woman finishes her description. There's nothing in Gideon's demeanour which suggests she took it as anything other than literal. There is - however - a note of understanding in her voice in response to the expectation that she might see it that way.]
Cool. I mean, the sea is kiiiiiinda terrifying if you ask me, but I do come from a place where there's no natural water supply. We used sonics to clean off, water was recycled and a highly rationed resource. So like, being made of the sea...or in the sea...sounds wild.
[Wild, but not impossible. She casts her gaze toward Gilia's face, offers her a knowing look.]
Not many people here have such a literal relationship with their origins, do they? But hey, I'm not about to question you. My dad is literally God, he resurrected all of the Nine Houses. He’s a real guy who walks about and talks and does dumb shit. You probably even met him? So I get it, is what I'm saying. I find it a whole lot crazier that some people worship gods or spirits they've got no evidence of.
