He cracked a small apologetic smile when the Goddess calmed down, even if she wasn’t fully recovered.[color=ed1c24] “Just please be careful with those. And no… I can’t stay mad at someone who’s trying their best,”[/color] he said reassuringly, before he stood and took a step back to give her some personal room. [color=ed1c24]“Shiva?”[/color] The name wasn’t familiar to him as one of the current Deities in the world, but he could only assume that they were one of Thoth’s peers. Shiva’s identity took a back seat as he apparently picked up on a tidbit he very well shouldn’t have. [color=ed1c24]“Oh geez,”[/color] he muttered, scratching at the back of his head at the idea that those monsters were weaker than they should have been, [color=ed1c24]“I guess your idea was on point.”[/color] He was otherwise quiet as Thoth finished her explanation, though he did frown a bit at the mention of a “blessing quota”. While he could understand information that was distributed on a need to know basis, the idea that it had to be paid f- No, before he ran down that line of thought too much, it would be better to hear what the quota was from a Goddess rather than using his possibly mistaken assumptions.[color=ed1c24] “Of course,”[/color] he agreed with a nod, [color=ed1c24]“but would you be able to explain exactly what this blessing quota is?” [/color] He spared a glance back towards Vincent just to make sure the other man was fine given his silence. Whether it was to hear better or because he had already expressed Vincent’s own views well enough he couldn’t tell, but the other man was still conscious so he turned back to Thoth.
