"He is sunlight himself," Claudius agrees at once. "Beyond even the holy fire -- he's light to me. I wither without him. God, I'm ridiculous in love. I thought he'd closed himself up to me forever, that I'd never see him or if I did, it would be regretful silences and stares. I love to look at his eyes, but I don't think I could've met his eyes, then. He sent me flowers. He is the flower, the flower and the sunlight. I'd make a pagan idol of him, if only to worship him. And I am not a worshipful man. Except for in love. It's a shame I can't poison God, or I would, and take over the Kingdom of Heaven to give to him as a toy. It makes me so glad to look in his eyes." Some earlier part of the conversation floats through his head before he can dwell on anything alarming he's said about killing gods. "Could I be evolving?"
