A Goddess unfamiliar with emotions beyond anger and possessiveness, and a Runebearer who was too practical... Or rather, a Runebearer who was too emotionally restricted to have thoughts that wandered beyond the expected, made for quite a comedic duo.

"Hey there."
Ignotus approached cheerfully.
"Sorry about last time. I wasn't planning to traumatize you, and oh, did you go to that Hierophant's funeral? The poor man was mauled to death by some dogs before my eyes."
He looked down solemnly.
"Ah... he defended us till his last breath. How brave he was."
