[ Men and their pride. Of course. Hilda can't stop the roll of her eyes heavenward at that. Any exasperation towards men - people, really if she didn't want to distill it to gender - and their faults are quieted as Kyle goes on to answer her question. A reassuring smile is quick to replace her frown as she tries to process everything he's told her. ]

Don't apologize. Like I said, I'd listen to any lecture given by you. You're a lot nicer to look at than some of my professors so it's a win for me either way.

[ Her frown is quick to return though. ]

So if the church is gone what does that mean for you? Your powers still work [ At least she thinks they do; can teleporting from one place to the next be considered an innate ability or a given one? ] so that means they aren't connected physically to them right?

[ If she's being honest, all of this feels like a lot for her little brain to handle so hopes that it doesn't come across as silly or stupid to ask. There were other things she had picked up on, like the discomfort when Kyle had mentioned the nuns, and the mention of things he shouldn't tell her (which was fine by her; this was enough to make her head spin), but she didn't want to inundate him with so many banal questions or accidentally cross a line she shouldn't. ]
