Mm... Not in a way that would be effective. Even if all the five died and your batch was saved, the cult would simply repeat the process. At least this significantly impeded them.
[ but he nods ]
I do get a wish, but it's a small one. Not enough to accomplish anything I can't do on my own... so we'll see if we can put ours together to help Mumu.
Oh, can you make it so that she isn't going to get sick? [i think that's the lore please pretend she said it right i don't have the energy to go back and find which thread it is to confirm]
I wanted to see a god made. I wanted to see if there was anything in the universe that could be worth believing in, outside myself. [ a beat ] Even if the answer is no, that is an answer.
[ unfortunately scien still thinks all gods outside of himself suck. but at the very least, that curiosity is now sated.
as for the second part of the question, he looks to their intertwined hands, and then to her ]
I met you. Which I never would've thought to ask for, but am glad I have.
[amused at that. but - the second part of the question has her chest get tight, has her smile warmly. she meets his gaze, silent for a moment. and then she rolls on her side to face him, tail swishing.]
I really did not see you coming either. [warm.] You said it to me when you were drunk, so I don't know how much you remember, but knowing you gave a shit enough to try and learn how to take care of me means more than you know.
Meeting you's changed a lot of things for me. So thank you.
but he'll similarly turn to face her, mirroring. there are ways in which scien is naturally a devoted person—the type of individual that you need to earn your way toward, piece by aggravating piece, but once his attention is caught then it is truly the equivalent of having a god in the palm of your hand. there is nothing about him that comprehends the idea of giving less than everything.
but there are still parts that he learned from her. to give a soft, platonic kiss in places just for the sake of affection. to welcome and give a familiar embrace, just to appreciate a sense of closeness. to be warmer, to those people he chooses.
his expression softens. ]
Of course.
[ a simple statement, because he thinks it's so natural. not something to accept gratitude for ]
after a moment, she slides closer to him and pulls him into a hug, tucking his head under her chin. he can squirm away if he wants, she's not holding him down. there's something about being worth the effort. she's scary and violent and aggressive, sometimes, but she can inspire gentleness. that feels good.
silence. just for a while, as she stays here, and then:]
I'm glad I'm not losing you for good.
[because no matter what they ended up as or what they could've been, scien is a very important person, who told her to take care of herself, who didn't let her drown, and she'll never forget that for as long as she lives.]

[ it's mumu's lore so scien will let other asks her directly ]
But in the end, I already got what I wanted to see... and then some.
[ never thought he'd make a friend again ]

[mathis told her something that she's absently thinking about, but she's curious to see what scien himself has to say.]
And what did you want to see? What more did you get?
