[ He doesn't even know his name! Cut him a little slack here!! Another shock, and it takes him a long moment. He's used to being drowned not shocked. It hurts worse than drowning, though. Both of his eyes are equally as wide and unblinking. ]

You know what's funny?

[ He says, watching her carefully, warily. ]

Is that I have done little wrong today. Oh, I may have insulted you, to which I've never met a god with such thin skin, but other than that?

[ He shrugged, in this horrible, horrible shirt. ]

Is it really worthy of violence? Now? Over so little?

[ Hands spread, he takes a step back. ] I will hate to see what you do when someone else upsets you, or insults you.

[ A tight, grimacing smile. Another step back. ]

Or is it just me? Not that I am surprised, of course. I've never made a lie of the fact that I do not believe in you, or your... domains. Just overpowered children. [ A sigh, and then a grimace. The shirt. Not exactly the thing he wanted to be advertising. ]

Next time we meet, I hope you learn to get that anger under control. [ Step back. Step back. ] It doesn't behoove you to wield it so liberally, lest you hurt someone.

[ He's at a corner. He's stepping around it. At least... at least he's trying to step away?? ]
