Me, realising I’m overthinking it but unable to stop myself: what if he was an unusually successful carpenter, as indeed you would expect the literal messiah to be,
Pulling out a chart of prices and daily wages in first century Judea while the knight groans audibly
come on you know he’d be up for that, he’s been starved of human interaction for hundreds of years, he doesn’t want you to walk in and grab a cup and immediately turn all skeletal on him!
I mean most of them were pretty fancy cups, I can’t imagine a solidly middle class family drinking out of jewelled goblets, but what about all those rich folks who joined the mystery cult and donated all their possessions??
