[ Set’s (a little surprising!) easy acceptance of their alliance sparks a warm joy, even with the caveats he applies. He would be completely within his right to think of her as a little simple, but that’s Quetzalcoatl for you. Even in her own pantheon, she wears her feelings more openly than most. ]
Mm, I won’t force you to do anything, I promise! But I can give advice, right? So, that’s what I meant by being nice! [ She’s simple, but at least insightful enough to pick up on the implication there, or at least guess at it. ] If you’re too grumpy, it’s scary!
[ She laughs warmly, since she’s teasing just a little bit. Characterizing Set as “grumpy” is probably a little of an understatement, but… She’ll at least move on from that subject, at least for now. She does have questions and a little concern over him claiming to work with Zenith, but that’s something they could talk about later, she thinks. She doesn’t want him to get defensive and withdraw completely, so the hope behind their faction’s promise is a better subject. ]
I think about the same. For my family it’s… Hm, it seems a little more complicated than other pantheons because of how our people believed in us. [ DON’T ASK, SET, IT’S FATE SHIT!!! ] But together, we’re all teotl, the expression of divinity and power, so we can all make and unmake the world. It could be unmade outside of us, sure! But then <>teotl itself would be gone, so my existence would go with it, you know? So, that’s why I’m sure. It’s out there, somewhere.
[ And, of course, she has to add: ]
…But tell me about your grandmother a little bit! If she’s a fellow god of the sun, obviously I’m curious! Is she like me at all?
