"Would you?" Patience asked, looking her in the eye. "Would you really?" The unasked question was, would she be able to leave him?
He paused and sipped his coffee. "To be frank, I don't trust anything a Sin promises. I told you that I am not around Greed constantly, but we have been on this earth for a very long time so I can say with certainty that you and Josie are not isolated incidences. I am trying to save you. I am not doing this for my own selfish gain. Do you know the difference between a sin and a virtue? Sins are selfish, Virtues are selfless. I may not be Kindness or Charity, but I want to help people. You haven't asked me anything about myself and you are making assumptions about me based on what Greed said?" He sounded more like a gently chiding teacher than a man with hurt feelings. He couldn't expect her to fully understand. She was only a mortal, and this concept was a huge one.
