The brute's brows remained furrowed, his look curious and confused, searching Valentine's features for some hint that he might actually be referring to the same gods as he was.. and yet he found nothing. He watched as Valentine shifted to a slightly guarded posture, and he'd pull back abruptly. He hadn't meant to be rude, but he was curious! His ears would flick on his skull as the other man began to speak, wanting to hear what he had to offer.

It hit him suddenly that Valentine had taken his words the wrong way. Still he listened, finding truth in his words, though he most certainly was not talking about actual gods. When the realization was clear, he began to laugh, quite freely, obviously amused at his mistake. "You are not talking about actual gods, are you?" he'd ask finally, but carefully, wondering if this new acquaintance would be as amused at his mistake. The last thing he wanted to do was embarrass him, because he really was quite nice to stare at and seemed to be good company to boot. "I was... but if you're talking about a certain group of plants.." he found himself grinning lopsidedly, finding humor in their muddled communication. He still felt the word sway around him and his claws would grip at the soil as he sought to remain upright. "I mostly certainly worship those too.."

He found his mind wandering, amusement slipping away as an idea formed. "I... may have found a plant, a ways back," he offered carefully, raising a brow as he tried to focus his vision on Valentine. "if you want to join me in this.. worshiping?" He grinned again, such an innocent expression for a deed that was seen as dark by so many.. all he could think of was having a partner in his journey and he couldn't imagine anything more enjoyable right now.
