Joly just grins back in return, glad, at least, that this time around, he's managing to be relatively calm enough so early into the game. It makes a change from last time's full on panic anyway.

He's not sure he can entirely accept her assessment there, entirely. Dying and being set free, yes, all right, that would be rather welcome if it could be managed. Penance, though, is another matter.

"I do not think that anyone could do something so awful for this to be their cosmic penance." he muses, a frown spreading across his face. "Theology is not my strong suit but I cannot imagine any god condoning this as an acceptable form of anything."
