He listened, an eyebrow slowly twitching at what he was hearing, and not hearing. Clearly, the goddess was NOT in a place of openness and equality, and he could immediately think of a spot, in fact only one, where she might be. His expression immediately shifted to amused annoyance, like one of the kids had gotten caught in an elaborate and impressive prank, that nevertheless fell apart at JUST the wrong moment to cause the biggest mess. Even, naturally, being the most skilled at those such pranks. "So, middle of Barid's main court. Right."<br/><br/>He took a long sigh, before shaking his head. "I am reminded of an incident involving Ama and the Iron Tower that likely is very similar to this. Surviving mostly because it amuses the owner. Four, get a squad to Barid's main residence, requesting permission for me to swing by, greet the Lord of the Stars, and pick up my roving Companion and Mate. A PEACEFUL meeting, if you please."<br/><br/>The unit saluted, before tilting its head slightly, having been standing in the corner of the room, where no one had seen it before he spoke to it. He stood up, and sighed again, before turning back around, one hand catching Inari's, a small thought of affection trickling to her as he spoke. "So, how has everyone else been? I have been dragged through war torn hells for the last... almost four millennia, nevermind it has been barely more than three hundred years for most of you."
