She'll chuckle softly at that. Not awkward actually, because there's certainly truth to that. Ciel knows it's her own problem, if the words sound way too simple and idealistic from her personal perspective.]
It would solve much of the entire world's problem if everyone could do that everywhere, wouldn't it?
[They are idealistic views, but that doesn't stop them from holding a kernel of truth at the centre.]
Perhaps, though some problems require action and immediate decision. There is a time and place for both, but in matters of friendship I believe patience to be best.
Naturally. The world would be awfully stale, if everything was in rigid absolutes with no means of changing. But that's not how God has made us, is it? So it would be a big shame to waste that potential, haha.
[She takes a small sip, her shoulders relaxing.]
I think I can see why you would work wonders for the church, miss Lilith. Have you been with the faith since you were young?
[She smiles back warmly, feeling the soft click of something old, familiar, and... not uncomfortable, not at all, settle in place somewhere deep down.

Certainly. Teachings are just words in textbook and stories passed from mouth to ear without the people's actions that put them to practice, right? He has set us an example, and though He has died for our sins, we must nevertheless continue to carry our own cross.

Hehe, but isn't it natural? That people can't live alone is probably some fundamental law of humankind, no matter what we may try telling ourselves otherwise.
[Ha, ha.]
Well, I'm sure it's all circumstantial, plus everyone must have their own take when it comes to philosophy of that kind. But it does become more significant in a place like this, doesn't it?
It does. Often it is in the face of adversity, or in times of great strife, that communities pull themselves together with the most strength, care, and compassion.
[She had read it in the histories and seen it first hand in her own war, it was amazing what a common enemy could do for a group of people who had simply coexisted before that.]

[HERP just gonna. quietly and sheepishly chuckle that off.
...
a short pause while she picks at her cup and takes another sip isn't TOO awkward, r-right...]

If you care for one another, that is the first hurdle overcome and most others can be navigated by trusting one another and listening to each other.

JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE

Not at all. Though I believe in God's spirit, I see Him more in the goodness and amazing feats of humanity, than in the bible or the church walls.

Sometimes our crosses can become a little heavy, and what I find amazing about humankind is its ability to help others to bear their crosses as well.
