[ It’s easy to imagine how his divinity being considered a delusion would bother Set. Even if she’s wrong about the full extent, she’s actually not far off with what she imagines. It’s something she knows (noticed?) about gods of other lands. Their divinity is fundamentally different from her own because the gods of Mesoamerica are both more and less than those distant gods. They have a different sense of pride when it comes to the mortals that believe in them. ]
Aw, don’t be so hard on them! Mortals are… Well! They don’t know better, right? The way we work is really hard for mortals to understand, I’ve noticed. That’s why we have priests to interpret things for them! Or, well, did, I guess. [ She laughs ] I loved my teopixqui, but it’s also probably better to not have any here!
[ Since even if it’s not a conflict for her, personally, how time has gone on since the height of her people’s empire as well as some of the knowledge from the Throne makes it clear: the human sacrifice part of rites wouldn’t go over well…
She listens attentively as Set describes Ra, and she smiles, warm and easy. Considering how easily she had taken to Set, of course she’s interested to hear about a god that shares her particular domains. It makes sense that they would have similarities in their personalities, for what could the sun be but joy and life? And, so, she simply laughs as Set takes a whiff of her.
There’s warmth in her presence, but in the smell are the other parts of her domain. She’s wind and lightning, clean and crisp as the air before a storm. Technically the sun was only a former domain… But the association stuck with Quetzalcoatl far more than it did to any of her other family members that had been the sun. ]
Sí, it sounds like we would definitely be friends, then! Or at least be interesting! My father, Tōnacātēcuhtli, he created himself like she did and the heavens, but then we four kids did all the hard work! So, it sounds like I’d have plenty in common!
[ But, Ra isn’t here. Set is, and so he’s the recipient of her affection. Since he’d smelled her hair, a very normal thing to do, she responds teasingly in kind by giving the crown of his head a playful ruffle. With all of the hair he has, it’s not quite as effective, but it’s the thought that counts. ]
And annoyingly funny is pretty good! If I get to be that, I’ll be muy contento!
my html.......also no,,,,
