[Padraig]

Like many others, Padraig wasn't comfortable speaking about death or slavery in particular. Hearing about them either. Perhaps his views of death might have evolved some, given Faith's style and focus of worship, though he couldn't claim he'd every embrace it. But as she spoke to the others, at least he more than most realized that all of these things, her past, her present, the rest of it, were what made her exactly who she was. And for that, he was grateful.

And when she finished speaking and joined him again? He smiled, took her hand and leaned in to whisper. "You are a wonder. And I am very, very proud of you." But Immortals forbid that all of this result in her going into labor early. Then again, he wondered, what was early? Time had been turned on it's head of late, and better not to tempt the fates by questioning it.

He grinned a little when she was handed the goblet, knowing what Mattieus did not. He said nothing though and was impressed by how well Faith hid her distaste for the stuff. And so when she handed him the wine, he took a sip and passed it on to the next one.

He'd rarely seen her so delighted with an article of clothing. But this? This was different. It was a symbol as much as a garment. A symbol of what she'd accomplished and would accomplish still. She'd earned it. So why not put it on now and wear it proudly? So if the time was right, then he'd help by taking the garment and slipping it over her shoulders.

"As we all must my dear." Mattieus declared in agreement towards Faith; it was after all what everyone else had to do in their time of strife. There always existed those moments in time where one must do what they could, and even if they weren't sure whether or not it would be enough; they strove to endure and overcome the obstacles set before them. Faith was no different and her resolve never seemed to waver, only strengthen the further she carried out her duty as part of the Order.

"I can guarantee that it would be an unexpected circumstance." The older man laughed a little towards her remark, curiosity swelled within his eyes as he wondered to himself for just a brief moment. "Not lucky child," He concluded, "Blessed. We are of the few who are given the chance to make a difference, you being here has definitely made that experience an enlightenment. Just as you feel joy in having me and this Order to call your home, we are ever grateful to see you always feel that way." The compliment was not only imparted onto her but to Padraig as well, while he seemed more quieter than Faith; the man was certainly an important part of the equation with her.

As they bantered briefly Faith soon found herself eager to try on the new cloak, a prized moment that the group would soon cherish once Mattieus presented it to her. With the soft blue hues and gilded trim ready to compliment her form, they were all pleased to see the young pupil rise up to her next rank.
