Parvus was seemingly unperturbed by the sudden presence of the enigmatic god, and simply responded, [color=598527]”I do not mean to be rude in ignoring your question, however if I answer your riddle incorrectly, you may see me as less capable. However, if I answer your answer your riddle correctly, it would reveal I am more capable. I believe you should understand the importance of obscuring information.”[/color]

Eurysthenes looked at this other god. He seemed like he was trying to talk his way out of the riddle. [color=8A0886]”Answer as you may, you'd be no different than the others of your ilk,”[/color] [i]This One[/i] said, appearing to shrug. 

If he was looking for a reaction, he did not get one. Parvus calmly replied, [color=598527]”Why should I answer your riddle.”[/color], intentionally leaving the nature of the question vague. 

[I]This One[/i] raised an eyebrow. [COLOR=8A0886]”Never did I say that one must answer my riddles, merely that I will laugh at those who don't,”[/color] it said, following up with a quick [color=8A0886]”Ha ha,”[/color] while pointing at Parvus.

Parvus still seemed unphased by this reaction,  [color=598527]”I did not ask why I must answer your riddles. I ask why I should. However, it seems as though you explained the consequences of such inaction anyways. If all you can muster is a childish jeer, then I do not believe that provides sufficient cause.” [/color] he said as he plucked a mushroom from the mossy floor and begin to fiddle with. 


[i]This One[/i] sighed, taking a seat up the slope from Parvus. [Color=8A0886]”Parvus, the answer to the riddle of why I ask you riddles is simply because it amuses me to see the likes of you struggle to find the answer. I am not one who cares very much whether they get answered,”[/color] it said, calmly. It lay down on the ground, and spread out. With a whistle, a small pillar, no larger than a finger, crumbles out of the ground. Atop it sits a miniscule knot made of stone. [Color=A80886]”Take it,”[/color] [i]This One[/i] said, [color=8A0886]”A wonderful artefact of great power. For centuries it has lain in stone. Take it, Parvus, and be entertained.”[/color]

Parvus stood up, and took a few steps away. Without turning back to face the strange one, he stated matter of factly,[color=598527]”I am sorry, I have no interest in such a thing. If you excuse me, I have tarried here for to long.”[/color] he said, holding the mushroom in one hand, and grabbing his stinger with the other. 

Eurysthenes shrugged and picked up the knot, fiddling with it. [Color=8A0886]”If you must. Luck to you, and enjoy your time,”[/color] it says, waving at Parvus with one of its arms.
