Oh! Hm. "Why"? He cannot feel the nasty scar on his neck right now, but that doesn't mean he isn't very aware to it being there, and instinctively tries to reach for it. Cicero had asked him the same question when he fed those bandits who razed his hometown and killed everyone there. Even basically killed him - if Cicero had not made him Seaborn, he would have surely died.

But he did not have an answer then. He certainly does not know now. He cannot say it's because he feels anything for the fallen god. Despite his joking use of "Uncle", he knows there's nothing truly familial there, either.

"I could say the same for you. Though, I suppose there's not much in the way of things I do understand." He's not exactly the smartest person. There's still so much he has to learn. And every day he feels farther from reaching the point he needs to be. "Do you want to understand? Would it change anything? I can accept your pain just fine. I would not be the first time a God has left their grief with me. The only difference is you are still alive."
