#monastery quest

I love this quest. I love the characters in this quest. Poor fucking Lucas.

I do want to note how Henry brings up reading/hearing Lucas is a sodomite:

He sees/hears that Lucas likes men and immediately starts questioning him about it. Not inherently out of judgment. Henry is naturally curious, but also recognition.

And Lucas is so... my poor guy. Like, I'm glad he stands up for himself like this, but this is rough. Obviously, I don't have Henry call him the spawn of Satan, so he just says it's "interesting":

The phrasing is interesting, like Henry is looking for someone who understands to talk to about it. I wish there was an option to tell Lucas Henry has a crash on guy he met a few weeks ago or something...

Also, obviously, I can't not help Lucas with the Circators, who at first say this:

And after Henry stands up for Lucas they say this:

So they just assume Henry is a sodomite by association with Lucas. They happened to be right in Henry's case.

Also also, they're both fucking hypocrites because John says this to Stribor (might be the other way around) if you just stand and listen to them:

Which is making me extremely uncomfortable combined with them bothering Lucas... Just go bother Jodok, who's a rapist and deserves it.

Also, Lucas's page in the abbot's book says this:

In the time he has been here, his perverse nature has not manifested itself in any way. However, he must be observed with a cautious eye, particularly in regards to his contact with the other young novices, for if two brothers were to lay together, it would besmirch this monastery in its entirety.

"You, the origin of all things good." - Translation of the title. - Lyrical poetry by Fridrich Bridel.

He's very young. Pavel thinks he might look younger than he actually is, but even so. His eyes are huge, and they dart about with a fear Pavel can't quite place. It's the look of a student caught out at a lesson, but it's also the look of prey, and also the look of a predator that doesn't know what it's doing. Pavel has survived many a year through sizing up other men quickly, and something about this one makes him pause. It's oddly charming, and Pavel likes him immediately.
