[Jun meanwhile doesn't question it because honestly, it's a fair question. Even if he gets it. ]
Yes. Groups like his tend to be like that.
[Cryptic answers, obvious secrets. Orden was no better, so he can't get too annoyed]
Nothing new. Myself and the other priests will handle any infection cases we come across and be more careful with monitoring the network. If you see anyone with the purple mark, let us know.
[There's a pause, as he considers how to respond. He doesn't have anything in the way of spells that'd help him with nightmares. Even if he had the spell, memory suppression probably wouldn't work in this case either.

"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, watch and guard me through the night, and wake me with the morning light. Amen."
It's not a magic spell, to be clear. Just a prayer I was taught to recite before bed when I was a child. But it'd help give me a peace of mind.
[ he wouldn’t ask for the memories to stop even if he was given the choice to— as every other shifter, he just needs to learn how to deal with them. it’s too much knowledge and experience to pass up. the prayer itself, falco reads over a few times and finds himself writing it down on paper before he responds. ]
Thank you, Father Orden. I’ve never been religious or had a religion, so I hope that doesn’t interfere.
It won't. The Lord is there for anyone who seeks Him.
[Sure there's some Christians might take issue with that, but they'd also take issue with one of His acknowledged being a gay guy - so they can go suck on an easter egg for all Jun cares]

Sorry, he did his best when he could. He had a reason to be just as subtle.

What did you mean by "groups like his"?
no subject
[He is half-kidding about that, really. There's a slight pause as he thinks of how to word it]
Groups and Organizations that handle supernatural occurrences like this. The church isn't the only one.

You mean that's what they're here for in the first place?
no subject
Presumably. Though much of their motive remains unclear.
no subject
Is there a prayer for nightmares, by the way?
no subject
Very well. You're still not to blame for what happened.
Nightmares? What kind?
no subject
They’ve been coming up a lot so I don’t want to attract anything bad.
