[well, again, she lives in a world where there really are gods, and also very high level wizards.]
That does tend to be the tale, doesn't it? Mortals want to become gods, and then other mortals think only they ought to wield godlike power because their reasons are better.
[ i need you to know pantheon also has those things in a way ]
It's... fine. Or, well. It wasn't fine, for a long time, especially with what happened after that, but. [ shakes her head ] I don't know. There's a lot I still agree with when I think of what I said, and there's a lot I don't. I think that's what remembering youth is.
[yeah, but she did know, this was the real teenager saying all of this. maybe actually growing up is different; you realize that there maybe isn't ever a moment where you become an independent adult, no matter what it might seem.]
Is that to do with why you took such a young looking form?
Oh, there's a lot of reasons for that. The main one is that this was the form I was in when God came to talk to me, so I didn't see the point in changing back. Not that I can't.
Maybe it'd be easier for some of you if I looked physically older, but honestly I thought explaining the change after you all saw me the first time was more trouble than it's worth.

I think whatever form you're comfortable with would not trouble me, but if this is the one that serves you best, that's fine by me.

That's good. I like talking with you. [ a little teasingly. ]
