Chapter 364 In Love With Nia:>22

• "Every day, ever since I found out about her, I have invoked the Guardian's protection, now he has been bound to her until I find her. Do not laugh, she needs him, and I need the Goddess's help, and I think she will want to help me now, now that I am helping myself."
• Her speech was suddenly very formal, almost as if the stately, ancient-sounding phrases she was speaking earlier had altered her way of speaking, and I listened, facinated, to the clear and simple way she was explaining her actions.
• I hugged her close, not dreaming of scoffing. I have a problem understanding religion, and as far as I was aware, the last time I was in church, I got my head wet, but I had learned that a man's wife, his daughter, and his god are three things you disrespect at your peril. So I saw nothing wrong or strange in Nia harking back to the beliefs of her people; after all, it was a deep-rooted part of her mother's culture, and she was just as much Vietnamese as English.
