"It's not as easy as you'd hope it might be." He agrees, although it clearly hurts to admit it. He knows that people can be good, they can be bad, but for the most part they're both, or neither. And that makes making the world better so much harder.
But he's happy to turn his attention to what she's saying, rather than things he can do nothing about while in Duplicity. Hell, he can only chip away at it at home, but that's something at least. Back to the here and now, however-
"An ofrenda for the Día de Muertos." He repeats, trying to make sure he gets the pronunciation right. He hasn't spoken any Spanish for years, and he's not as good at it as French or German, but perhaps she won't be offended if he tries to pick it up again with her. "I've not heard of the Day of the Dead. What's it about?"
He can guess, but frankly, he'd rather not and actually let her tell him about her traditions. They are hers, after all, and she doesn't seem like the sort that would appreciate him just making assumptions all over the place.
