If you say so. I like to think that if God created all sorts of sinners and other shit that never made the Good Book, he's going to be a little more forgiving of us weirdos who do our believing on our own time.
[he nods, though. peter's definition of 'real' was very flexible, but it had still lost most of its grounding in this new world. so many new things were real, and so many things he'd taken for granted had lost their firm footing. oddly, god wasn't one of them.]
God is still there. Somewhere. I mean, that's sorta God's deal, being everywhere, keeping an eye on us.
[Ronan does not sound interested, nor is he particularly inclined to accept any preaching from someone like Peter. He takes another drink and pulls a face at the taste.]
I was talking about this shit. These jerkoffs around here. [He shrugs, making a motion back toward the temple behind them.]
[thing is, peter doesn't sound preachy. he's just offering an opinion, not like it's any better or worse than ronan's. god's a complicated thing, after all, a surprisingly personal thing considering all the religion that goes on in the world.]
I guess that depends on where you set your bar for 'real'. They do like keeping us on our toes.
[Idly, and Ronan shrugs. He's the type of person to make snap judgments of people upon meeting them, and making him forego those judgments is more difficult than it should be. Not an easy person to befriend.]

[He echoes before shrugging halfheartedly, taking another drink and scuffing his shoe on the temple steps.]
Any other words of wisdom?

Words of wisdom. Shee-it. You think I'm one of those types?

You saying you're not?

[peter drags on his cigarette and shrugs. it's hard to pin down what ronan wants from him.]

[Peter invited him out here- as far as he's concerned, Ronan is here for booze and maybe getting to know someone who was useful in a pinch.
For now though, he focuses on the liquor aspect of all this and takes another drink from the bottle.]
