[He'll give a small nod, sitting opposite the god with little fanfare.]
I felt I owed you a proper apology. I can't take back what I said - honestly, I'm not going to. I meant it. But it doesn't change that I should have considered how I was saying things before I raised my voice at you. I lost my composure, and that wasn't something you deserved.
You don't need to apologize. I know...exactly where you're coming from. And I know that what you meant, you meant from the heart. I wouldn't ask for anything more than that.
[Piety draws the teacup forward, unable to drink for it but clearly savoring the warmth.]
Anyone would lose their composure in a situation like that. If the situation had been reversed and I was on the outside looking in, I would have been frustrated, too.
I don't, I don't! It's fine. Man, just talking like that's going to make me feel bad, you know... [Deserve??????? OK whatever you say.]
Still. That you'd extend compassion like that to a total stranger, even though I turned you down at the start... it's just taken some getting used to, that's all. I haven't known a lot of people that would bother.
We definitely needed it back there during that trial.

I'm sorry, Piety.

[Ah. He notices the cup as he reaches for his own, laughing quietly with an obvious embarrassment.]
...Sorry. I keep forgetting about your rules with the masks. I hope it still can be pleasant enough for you later.

I'm just as kind to you as you deserve, as far as I'm concerned. Please don't feel guilty.
