"If only getting back grace was that simple," he'd say with a chuckle, "well....maybe it is for some, different angels, different rules I guess." He'd been doing good lately, but he'd yet to find out how to rise, the fallen returning to grace was something the outpost had always viewed as impossible.

He'd quickly look Jackal over. "What about you?" he'd ask curiously, "demon?" He looked mildly demonic, not that he liked judging what species a person by appearance, it was just the first thing that came to mind.

As far as Jackal was concerned, it was that simple. There was only one metric! But the kid was right - different standards for different groups.

"Demon," Jackal said, "but not the normal kind. Holy demon's probably the short version, although I get the idea that most branches don't really have that as an option."

"A holy demon?" he'd as curiously. A holy demon was something he'd never heard of, on the outpost the idea would be considered blasphemy, just voicing the possibility would have lead to punishment. "I've....I've never heard of that before," that certainly got him thinking, especially with him being somewhat comparable to demons now.

"Your hell...or whatever realm, it must be pretty different," he'd say with a thoughtful hum, he'd only heard stories of the various hells, mainly he'd learned about the shadow hell the outpost focused on.

"Well, here's the deal," Jackal said, with a conspiratorial tone to his voice. "Us demons, we do God-with-a-big-G's work, right? When we torture people down in hell and all that, who's work are we doing? It's not for another demon. They don't get anything out of it. We're following his instructions. We're doing his work. So what's that, if not holy?"

He'd tilt his head as he listened to him. The things Jackal spoke of, how demons served a holy purpose by torturing the damned, it was stranger buy it also made sense. He didn't think that logic quite worked when it came to the fallen angels cast out of heaven because of their betrayal, but for demons in general it made sense.

"Yes...that...that does make sense," he'd snort, a half chuckle, "back home agreeing with you would've gotten me punished so badly."

He'd shake his head, "sorry, I didn't mean to mess this up, it's Christmas, maybe not the best time to talk about this stuff." Then he'd shrug, "or maybe it is, contemplating, looking back and then moving forward is sorta a Christmas theme."

"Either way, thank you Jackal, both for the gifts and the conversation, interesting things to think about."

"Christmas Shmismas," Jackal said. "I'm here for the winter stuff. Christmas isn't really for me."

Technically he had no real holiday to celebrate. It was an off year, and he gave Hadrian a nod.

"Give it some thought," Jackal said. "In most Abrahamic religions, the only thing that matters for how fallen you are or not is your faith in God. So... think about that."

Heavy words considering the circumstances, but Jackal collected his gifts up. "Enjoy the stuff," he said. "See ya."

And with that, he's head out.
