( someone who has far more delicacy than zoro could probably have this be a wonderful and fulfilling conversation. unfortunately, zoro isn't the best with getting his thoughts out on a good day, let alone when it's a topic that he's never given much thought to in the first place.

this was probably a mistake. he's not really equipped to have this kind of conversation and doesn't know why he even thought this was even remotely a good idea. ( the answer is he didn't think, he just acted, as per usual. )

why does he ask??? )

I don't know. ( another pause ) I don't believe in any god or gods or whatever. But my— ( ...what does he even call feng xin? are they friends? they talk every day... fuck buddies? acquaintances??? and yet, somehow — after a brief, yet noticeable pause — zoro still winds up with an insulting: ) neighbor healed an injury and told me he was a god and that anyone can be.

( which is NOT QUITE AT ALL what feng xin said, but that's how zoro understood it. he's spreading fake news. )
