[deiform]

[ he considers the question seriously for a moment, finally just willing away the plate and glass and dusting his hands off absently. ]

Umm.. not.. exactly. Not in the way you're thinking of it, I think. There's only ever me where I'm from, though other religions have other deities. But Father's kind of the overall.. boss..

[ a small sigh. ] I'm not explaining this very well. Listen, have you ever heard of Christianity?

ugly laughter into the distance

[rube]

[it's only been drilled into him since he was four, but, you know. no biggie.

the amount of confusion and awe that mixes in ben's features is profound. his mouth is hanging open, brow furrowed so intensely it's as though it's frozen in place.]

No- no way. [he doesn't know how to react. he's putting two and two together and the amount of steps it takes for him to wrap the small bits and pieces of information around his head is too many steps. he throws his hands into the air, reaching behind him -- and thank god (ha ha) there's a table and a seat, because he plops himself right down.]

Jesus Christ.

[his head dips into the palms of his hands, elbows resting on his knees. he's sinned too many times, and come to terms with those sins, but this is way too overwhelming.]

throws self into the void

[deiform]

[ he spreads his hands, expression a little sheepish. ] Ta-da?

[ he hesitates for only a moment or two before pushing a chair close to ben and then sinking down into it, reaching over to pat his knee briefly (and yep, there's definitely a big ugly scar on the back of that hand). he knows now, of course, because he can't help but know-- not when ben is this distressed. ]

It's okay, just take a few breaths. I'm not actually nearly as scary as some people like to paint me, and I'm not here to judge you.

i came here to have a good time and im honestly feeling so attacked right now

[rube]

[if only ben knew that jesus had been an avatar of light in his world, too. management didn't leave him with much information besides the power and base knowledge he gave to him, and that was it. done and done. the rest had been left for him to figure out himself.

he catches sight of the scar as jesus speaks, forcing himself not to shy from his touch. but what about murder, he wants to ask, and he suddenly has so many questions flooding him that he has to hold back.

where does he even start.

maybe with something easy. he sits up, hands intertwining in his lap.]

You asked- [he has never struggled so hard with words in his life,] you asked if I could do things like you, takin' wine outta clothes. [he shakes his head,] It don't work like that for me.

headshaking intensifies

[deiform]

[ jesus waits patiently as ben works through what he wants to say, still practically radiating understanding and love and empathy. he laces his own fingers together loosely in his lap-- loosely so that ben will see that it's not meant to be a closed-off gesture.

his head tilts slightly as he listens, expression curious and interested. for a few moments, he's silent, expression soft and thoughtful, before he unlaces his hands again and offers them out, palms up. ]

Um.. here. Will you show me? [ he prefers to keep his.. pseudo godliness under wraps most of the time, but it's sort of pointless here. especially now, when ben is obviously lost and hurt and confused. ] I think.. it'll be easier for you if you just let me see your world. And you.
