Week Two

[letsplayamod]

Okay, maybe it hasn't been so easy. You've been enjoying a relatively pleasant time here with your fellow gods and Athena, only for a disgruntled Titan to seemingly pull the rug out from under that.

Despite the immediate threat from a hidden foe, you've managed to stave off their first attack. However, even if the grass may seem greener this week, or the sky a bit clearer, Athena can barely hide her troubled feelings. If this experiment is to be a success, what has to happen to make it that way?

You're all alive, though. That's worth celebrating, isn't it?

Did she...

[He blushes a bit at that]

And yes, art is always worthwhile!

[cannotunravel]

Yes. So tell me, do you feel...any different now that you saw this?

[She tries to make clay Ferdinand stand up]

Any increase in power or anything like that?

[markofnobility]

Hmm.

[He gives this the serious focus it deserves, staring at the effigy. Once upon a time this kind of praise would be everything he ever wanted. Someone making his likeness in such a commanding prose. Not as a commission but because they wanted to. Because they saw him this way.

Now the part that makes his chest warm though is the smile. As simple as it is he feels seen. He feels-]

It makes me happy.

[Which isn't a power boost but he is legit really touched right now]

[cannotunravel]

...oh!

[She hadn't expected such an earnest answer. Here she was, stoic as usual, when she hears that and Misane is caught off guard, even a little flustered]

You can keep it if you want. Be careful because it's fragile.

[......hmmmmm...]

Are you a people pleaser?

[Ferdinand seems like such a kind and nice person. It's the sort of person that worries her, really]

[markofnobility]

[He flusters a bit from the question]

I mean- as a noble it is my duty to make sure those around me and under my care are well tended to and happy, of course!

[So yes]

[cannotunravel]

And you know how to stand up for yourself when necessary?

[That's extremely important, of course!]

[markofnobility]

[he laughs a bit at that]

You have not seen the infamous von Aegir temper yet! Trust me, I am not the type to take things passively.

[cannotunravel]

I'm glad. When you announced your happiness at this...mediocre result, I was concerned you'd be the kind to roll over just to make others happy.

[It's a pretty specific mindset and dealing with it is exhausting, even when she cares so much about the one person in her life who is like that]

[markofnobility]

It was made for me! Even if it is a beginner's effort it is still nice to be thought of.

[cannotunravel]

I did think if it turns out making depictions of us with good feelings gives stronger powers, you could be trusted with them. So if at any point you find you're more powerful please tell me about it.

[Unfortunately for Misane, any increase in power won't be because of her clay statue]

[markofnobility]

[Trusted with them? That makes him beam even if he really doesn't understand what she's saying]

I will!
