That's some coincidence. But considering that she's never heard of at least two of Paladin's gods, that's probably all it is. "Each colony had a patron god, and there were twelve of them. That's probably why we have twelve gods."
She frowns a little, as Paladin explains Lhuitantl's purview. "I don't think I'd like him much," she admits. She's not fond of being tricked. Or maybe he sounds too much like someone she knows. Either way, she sits up a little straighter and adds, "But he did help you out of a tight spot. That's something. How long are you in his debt?"
"They said I reminded them of the hope that she brings when Spring returns." She shrugs awkwardly. It's a bit of a burden to put on someone, even if her parents did it with the best of intentions. "It didn't influence me, no... aside from your dedication ceremony, it doesn't come up much." It's a very different world she lives in than Paladin's, on a number of levels.
At least they can agree on healing. It's not technically accurate, but it's close enough. "I do like being able to help people more directly. The goal of my research was to find better ways to fight specific diseases, but there were lots of steps between me and the actual treatment." She sighs in annoyance. "Nothing, is what they're doing. It's like I'm sending my data into a giant black hole. They won't even let me do any analysis."
Fortunately, Paladin points out the turn off for the Wilds before Adia can work herself up. She's supposed to be having a good time, after all. "Yes, I think so... there are a few more buildings and then it's open space until you reach the forest." She pulls on the reins and presses one leg into the horse's flank, both on the same side, to turn him off the road. A swift press of her heels and he continues on.
