Still she die not believe him! Why was it so hard to think a person might enjoy the work itself, and find pleasure through aiding others? Or that his offer was genuine and without some sort of underhandedness? The girl sounded so cynical about the motives of others; he wondered what might have incurred such a doubt, but it was not his business to ask. Ceridwen probed further with her questions and presumed Kilgitsuk might have some faith-based motive and this is what makes him abruptly laugh.

I have no need for faith in the fantastical, the unreal. My people have always put value upon the physical; manual work, bodily strength, the power of oneself. So to answer your question - no! Absolutely not. His laughter boomed and then became a chuckle, and then faded. You do not know me. I understand that makes you skeptical of any motives I may have. I would ask that you trust me, that I only do it for the sake of being useful to those that might benefit - but the way you speak on it, I don't expect you to do that. It is alright. a smile, as he kindly bows his head to her.

I plan to uphold my end of the arrangement. It is important to me to follow through when I state my business. Whether she approved or not, understood or didn't; and afterwards he would not return to Brecheliant for a long while.
