Duma had not planned to return either but he was starting to see the necessity of it. The mortal realm was full of temptations and he was failing. Heaven help him, he was failing so badly. He arched an eyebrow as Michael began speaking. Duma supposed it was possible that Michael's faith had wavered and he simply did not know about it.
Forgiven for his rebellion? Was that possible? "I have become... Unsure myself, lately. I do not know whether it is my faith being shaken or simply just me. I believe the phrase is 'waiting for the other shoe to drop'. A constant state of agonizing waiting." He knew he would have to explain but he wanted to put it off for as long as possible. "But I am banished from the Golden City anyway so perhaps it does not matter."
