[ Ledah observes the surprise, but it is comforting that what he says does end up helping his friend. But, not only that, he does end up listening quietly to what Jun has to say.
That being said, he doesn't exactly anticipate that Jun isn't completely human. Though all it does is give him context, because his view on the other male hasn't changed in the slightest.
He pauses, for a moment, when Jun states that he doesn't need to say anything. ]
...Sometime ago, I had someone express his reservations about the last mission we were on and other thoughts, and I admonished for being too sentimental. I judged him naive, and believed my way was the only real way in carrying out the gods' will. But because of my preconceived notions, I failed him and my mission. And I'd rather not have that happen again.
That said, it feels simple to put together why gods don't understand the perspective of humans, especially here, given Celestia's actions.
But, I can't say I understand why humans would find error with your talks with them. The fault can lie with them for being incapable.
[ Maybe that's unsurprising (both that he doesn't understand that and his judgment), because he's not human, and what he just said regarding how he's barely able to grasp how the mission will prove to be a major issue in the now.
Regardless, he does continue speaking...this may in fact be the longest amount of time he's spoken in awhile, but you know what, he is doing it because he wants to. ]
I also know neither of those people, but though our mission guideline is straightforward, we are still performing a task that is difficult. I don't doubt the devoted efforts of a priest, however there is only so much that can be simplified in this sort of undertaking.
But perhaps you getting this all out is what you needed, as you've stated.
In the future if you feel the need to discuss such things with me again, go ahead. I will listen and if I feel it necessary, give my own judgment as I see fit.
