[You know it's a bad time when Fortune and unfortunately are in the same sentence.
Thing is, he's not sure if this is really what he wants. But he can't well say that after he's just said something kind of cool. Ah, at least he can cross that one off the bucket list before he kicks the same bucket.]
It's decided, then.
The only uncertainty I have left now is the matter of which god to whom I should appeal. Do you . . . have any suggestions?
Well... if you might be coming back to me next week...
[She wouldn't want him to go to one of the vengeful gods.]
Piety... would probably be a good choice. You heard him at the trial, right? He's doing everything he can to protect his followers. He'd take care of you, even if you didn't come back to me. And if you did... he wouldn't hold it against you.
[What is this, Piety's Daycare Center? Hasn't this poor god gone through enough? Them's the breaks, he supposes.]
I will go to him.
[He's still afraid, of course. Why did a follower of Ambition target him, specifically? Are they going to somehow track him down and realize that he didn't join their ranks after all the trouble they went through? This is serious stuff! Please take good care of him, Piety . . . !]

While I'm there, I'll pray for your success.

[Fortune is probably smiling at him from behind her mask. It's too bad she can't take it off so he can know that for sure.]
Even if you don't come back... I feel like I'm very lucky to have met you.
