Good. [Although Helios might come to regret that decision, given Homura's particular brand of questioning. Still, that is secondary, and he considers just where to begin for a moment.]
The Heavens have laws they deem unbreakable, though few know the reason for those laws. One rule states that gods are not to bear children with beings of the Lower World--humans or demons. These children are deemed heretical beings, and deemed the cause of misfortune by legend. Heretical beings are sometimes created by the Earth itself as well, or through other means. But all are ultimately taken to the Heavens, and bound in chains, or placed in prison cells--guilty of no other crime beyond their existence. And should they be "free" to wander the Heavens, the gods still know them by their bonds, and the unique gold color of their eyes.
[Homura lifts a hand to his face; certainly Helios has noticed the chains he wears even in Luceti, and now the very color he spoke of in Homura's right eye.]
