Jayden sighs and shifts on his feet a little, disagreeing, but at this point so much is still speculation and he doesn't have any desire to talk about the sort of specifics that are coming up now. Distant, academic assessment of the cult is something he can manage, but he doesn't want to think about the ritual or anything even slightly related to it.

So magic, even if this sort of magic creeps him out a bit, is a safer topic and he switches completely over to that. "Do they have to, I dunno, talk to a specific god or somethin' like that? Or is it more like the divine in general?"
