There is a beautiful cathedral where I am from. In mine visitation here within the town proper, I do not recall seeing something quite similar to it.

Is there a church, confessional, or a place of worship here?

If not, how do the rest of you revere your patron deities and cleanse your souls?

I tend to repent by thinking about how my parents would disown me to see how happy I am here, and then I drive myself into anxiety with the thoughts of being thrown into jail for it.

In all seriousness, I miss the beauty of churches and temples and mosques. Religion drives real art into architecture, so it's sad to miss out on that at least. And I'm able to observe my religion without places of worship, thankfully. If you'd like to join me in prayer one day, I'd welcome the company!

Oh. I suppose those are both effective methods of disciplining one's self, though they seem a bit extreme. I do not think it is a sin for some to find happiness here, if they do.

You sound very connected to spirituality. It is not oft that I make acquaintance with people like so. Truthfully, I am a bit surprised to find someone here so invested in such things. I am not accustomed to making prayer and offering outside of Saint Reymanaud, but mayhaps it is very much time that I did so.

Of course, finding happiness is typically not a sinful thing! But where I'm from, people...should provide their parents with grandchildren, and my partner and I aren't capable of doing that, to put it politely.

We're happy, however. And I think that Allah would see our love as good as any other's. ...Even if my kin wouldn't think the same!

It's definitely a pleasant surprise to know that we're not alone, though I normally keep my observation to myself. I'd love to learn of your religion though, and see how you pray compared to how I do! I think it's a fascinating thing, to learn about how things like this differ and don't.

...I'm Mohammed Avdol, by the way! A pleasure :)

Mine people are not terribly open-minded. Rather, I would not call them such, in comparison to many of the people I have known here. I am inclined to agree that one ought to find happiness when it seeks them out, regardless of what their kin may say.

[That is the right thing to say and she knows that, even if she knows she would not follow it. Rather, her family and traditions maintain a tight grip on her. Still. And she is very much responsible for that. But...]

I should think that the concept of love would follow that same concept. Mayhaps you family in time will allow their thoughts to turn with patience and circumstance. All the same, it is a privilege to make your acquaintance, Master Avdol. I am Perne de Archevauliere, and I shall save you any religious stories on this sun.
