"God?" Yuna said, blinking. "What is God?"
If it was anything like Yevon, then maybe she had more to do here than she initially thought.

He stared at her, temporarily forgetting where he was and why. If there was any proof that Yuna really wasn't from this world, this was it. "God is... the father. He created the world and the heavens and people and animals and everything... He looks after us and if we live a good and godfearing life, we'll get to join Him in the Heavens."
Or something like that anyway.

So, not like Yevon. Not exactly.
"Creating things...so, god has magical powers?"
Well, it was the only thing Yuna could think of, aside from an Aeon, but Aeons were a bit different than regular magic.

"Magic doesn't..." But it did exist. He'd seen it. Yuna proved it to him. "I suppose..." he said carefully. "God is God... he has god-powers..."

Yuna's brow furrowed as she tried to work it out in her head.
"So, god is...an Aeon? They come from the Far Plane, which is where you go when you die, and they have powers that affect the world."

"I don't know where God comes from, He just is, but the rest sounds accurate." He had met other people who didn't believe in God, but never anyone who didn't know who He was, or even didn't understand the concept.
"God is all-knowing and all-seeing and loves everyone," he added, even though he wasn't too sure about the last bit.

In Yuna's mind, it was a lot like an Aeon, though obviously an independant being that thought for itself. One that couldn't be summoned.
"Huh. That's very interesting. We definitely don't have something like that back in Spira."

Yann wasn't sure what to say about that. If God was omnipresent... perhaps it was a good thing that Yuna's land was so far off, the missionaries would have a field day otherwise.
"Then who do you pray to? Your Aeon?" The word felt strange in his mouth, like some exotic fruit.

Yuna gave a little laugh.
"Oh, my, no! Aeons are powerful, yes, but they don't create worlds or faiths. The...well, we used to pray to Yevon, until the truth behind it all was uncovered. Now we are searching for a new way, back home. At least we can still pray to the Fayth."

"God didn't create faith..." Faith created God He kicked himself mentally for being pedantic and then stepped aside to let people with a stretcher in. Oh yeah. They were in a hallway opposite a dead woman. Talking about God. Well, if God existed, He wouldn't have let this happen, just like He shouldn't have let many things happen.

Yuna fell silent as the stretcher went by, and she was still silent as it went past a second time, this time bearing the unfortunate victim down the hall and out the door.
Yuna was waiting, in point of fact, for everyone to clear out so that she could perform a sending. She did not know if unsent in this world created monsters, but considering the number of monsters that wandered about, it couldn't hurt to try and prevent at least some from coming into being.
She waited, though, thinking that most of the people here had never seen a sending and likely wouldn't understand what Yuna was doing. Best to attempt it when there wasn't anyone around to interrupt and possibly make things worse.

"I wonder where they are taking her," he said softly while he watched the awkward maneuvering on the narrow steep stairs.

"I think so..." He wondered if he should ask someone, but couldn't find the strength to battle his shyness to actually do that.
