David nodded, accepting her question. "You'd be right, I suppose. I personally sway more Episcopal these days but I'll be honest, it has taken me a long time to get to this point. I don't know if you researched much about me?" He paused a moment, but decided to explain anyway. "I was no Thomas More, wearing hair shirts and self-flagellating, but I did practice asceticism- self-denial, fasting and so on to better find God. Coming out of that into the modern world has been difficult for me. Part of the reason I decided to travel was to decide if my old ways were good ways. Patrick and I had... strong disagreements. About his relationships. It was forcing me to rethink things. But we are both human and non-human, shaped by what people think of us. Personal growth is very hard. My counterpart in Wales still very much lives like he used to in the monastery."
