Zoe quirked a smile, not realizing Patience was one of the religious nuts. "I don't know if I believe in God, I've studied so much and it's all so varied. I believe in something bigger than us, the world is filled with more than we could possibly understand but I don't know if I'd slap the label 'God' onto it. It seems more... complex than that. No offense to you or anything. And if it's all the same, I rather have what I deserve in this life while I can enjoy it." she chuckled a little.
She looked down at his hand patting hers and then sighed with a tired smile, "Perseverance is something I'm starting to become familiar with." thinking of how Greed pushed so hard and never gave up, "But normally I don't.. I run. I hide. I try to be safe. But it's like no matter how hard I try, I can't hold on to anything good in my life. So you reach this point where you wonder if it's not being optimistic, it's being stupid. It's not perseverance, it's being a glutton for punishment.." she trailed off, not having meant to dump on him like that and a little bewildered that she did.
