Blackfeather Woods courage is knowing what not to fear

Ah! threading with you is always amazing! <3

Cicero admitting that his question was a complex one brought a pleased smile to Damien's face. A good reason to avoid them for the hot-headed Damien. Cicero was capable of taking a plethora of aspects into account before giving an answer, something Damien lacked and would probably be a weak spot in his leadership. He wouldn't admit it, and actually he didn't realize, but he feared his own deficiencies.

Touching the religious area didn't upset Damien. He was faithful that the gods existed, but whether they gave purpose in life or not was entirely up to the mortals unless the gods decided to wrap their dark claws around the world one day and interfere on mortal affairs (which was actually believed to be one of Mephala's favourite activities). Damien decided to ignore the topic altogether, knowing that delving deeper into it with Cicero could result in an endless philosophical conversation that he did not feel like engaging. Instead, Damien focused on Cicero's final answer, which he found to agree with.

"I guess you're right... You make your purpose whatever you like..." Damien voiced, finding a simpler version of Cicero's words. "I think I haven't given much thought to my own purpose, to be honest..." admitted the dark prince turning to stare back at the dark distance. "Keeping all of you safe would probably be the best answer you'll get from me," he said as his eyelids sealed, with a hint of a promise in his calm voice.
