[ Well. That's nice. He heard or saw some action happening around the church and was concerned so he's come to check in on what's going on here, only to find rat bones.
That's fine, probably? He looks tired and a little disoriented, like he hasn't really had good sleep. The sight of her still gives him pause in a way, stopping at the doorway to rub at his eye once. ]
...Ms. Laudna. [ Figures, she does love the creepy stuff. ] What are you doing in here?

[she's still a little wary, always is when anyone looks at her like a threat or potential danger. but he hasn't done anything just yet, so she doesn't try to get away, either.]
Just exploring! Trying to recover my lost collection. Though this sort of evil god worship is not my thing. The good ones and the evil ones are no different, all so demanding and ungrateful.

...I guess I resonate with that.
I'd like to argue that it wasn't stealing, but I guess it is. I wanted to hold onto it for a moment until I could decipher it and see what it was all about.
Ended up with auditory hallucinations and other personally unpleasant things. Or I guess in your case, I could just call them otherworldly whispers.

Where I'm from, the gods are endangered by a force that wants them destroyed. And I suppose we have been given the task of saving them, something I do not relish. The only one of us who truly believed in them died in their service, and they seem not to have cared a bit. For my own reasons, I'll stay in the fight, but I don't think much of their whims.
[so relatable.]
Hmm. Then maybe it's more important than it seems? I assumed these were all just aesthetic considerations.

Who knows. The entire camp seems cursed as a whole.
[ That's so funny, kind of similar hat in a way but Daan isn't privy into all that. Nobody is, so he can't make much of a comment there. ]
Personally, I think that sounds about right where gods are concerned...
...
Festival of Termina. That strange man... a servant of the Moon God wanted us to kill everyone else to win it.
I'm telling you that because I think you'd at least consider believing that that really happened.

[she sounds like she believes him in the sense that it hasn't even occurred to her to question this.]
Oh, yes. My dear friend Imogen has always had the most terrible ominous dreams, before she learned they were messages. Really, such an intrusive way of communicating.

...Pretty much. That's what I think most people misunderstand about the Old Gods. That by gaining access to their powers, they're "favoured" by them.
They only want to see what they want, like watching ants spiral around a drop of sugar even if they exhaust themselves, get trampled, or whatever else...
...
This is grim, isn't it?

The world is grim.
[she does agree with this quite a lot. it's nice to hear it, even.]
As I said. My friend was one of those "favoured" ones. The god who chose him - she did nothing to help him when he died. She didn't acknowledge him, or mourn him, whatsoever. His death was so... inconsequential to her. And she is one of the good ones.

[ NOOO NOT FCG!! But also yeah ICly it takes him a solid minute to realise this is a name. ]
Oh. [ Well, that's incredibly memorable at least. ] ...Yeah, I can agree with that. Some people aren't the easiest to get along with, but most deserve some level of baseline respect. For what they do, anyway.
