Johnny couldn't help but laugh heartily at Simon's suggestion. Far as he was concerned it was a great joke.

"A shot in the foot is the demigod's equivalent of pulling somebody's hair." He said still chuckling before calming down and responding to Michael still having to hold himself back from laughing.

"You can't expect trust where respect doesn't come before. Even if they didn't openly fight, their disrespect and mistrust would fester in silence. Exploding in a far worse display than what we saw today. Better to let them fight in ways that are smaller so that they at least know where they stand with one another in my opinion. If nothing else so we know who not to team together. There are plenty of demigods here. As for parental involvement, mine won't become directly involved until either they or Japan itself are forced to become involved. Every one of the shinto gods and their children, myself included, would be perfectly happy to remain at home if we could. But both I and my father realize the conflict will inevitably involve us, I am to try and contain the situation. By whatever means are necessary."
