That's terrible! How could people just up and forget like that...? I don't want to think what the world would be like without the blessings we receive from every god.

I suppose we could use our situation here as an example. None of us who were brought here praise the gods of this world, but life goes on with or without their blessings. I wonder why that is?

Ah--...that was right. Miyabi didn't even think Luceti had gods. Maybe the filial spirits? She was thankful to Faeren and Eferin for their help with her skills, but she never truly thanked them like she did her gods.]
...I suppose so. But if the Filial Spirits are Luceti's gods...then I guess I can treat them a little better. Nala must be tired...what with all the people using her gift right now. If I knew what they looked like, I would paint them.

Does a being have to be a god for you to paint it or treat it better? There are humans much more admirable than certain gods. If you think about it the other way, there are also gods more despicable than most humans.
In other words, should someone being called a "god" be given more weight than someone being called a "human"?

...I know. I've met a lot of people who say the gods in their worlds are vengeful and violent. I...I've never come across that in my world, so I-I guess I'm thankful to my gods for their gifts. Especially the power of the Celestial Brush. My people are the only ones who can use it other than the gods themselves. Without that power, we'd be...really vulnerable. [Because poncles are just so tiny.]
But I don't just paint gods. I paint whatever and whoever I want! I don't do it just because I have to or it's my duty, I do it because I love painting. And I guess...because i want to give thanks to people in the way I know best.

[He sits back and crosses one leg over the other.] In my case, the gods I know of barely pay attention to humans. If anyone prays to them, I doubt they ever notice it. They're so ridiculous and caught up in their personal affairs that it's a wonder they're gods at all.
