Mizu gasped when her cheek was cupped, but she did not pull away, if anything she remained still, like a child in awe, though she exhaled deeply when she felt the pulse of warmth travel her body as if a sudden layer of stress was removed from her being. Though slowly building up again when the goddess pulled away and started speaking again. "My home was the first colony attacked..." she looked away slightly, although she had no memory of the place as she was nearly fresh born back then... But the temple maidens made it a strong reminder to her most everyday...<br/><br/>Mizu's attention though would pull back when not only the goddess mentioned she wasn't strong enough to fight what was causing it; but rather she of all the others who would gladly fight for the cause... She was chosen? "You wish to give me power? to bring them into ruin like they had done us as well?" She twitched her ears slightly while starting to tilt her head. "But why me?..."<br/><br/>No longer pressed to the wall Mizu would find herself free floating slightly within the water, her tail flicking to push herself closer as the deity settled herself to sit within the prayer room, although she was careful not to get too close as she floated before the goddess with a curious expression. "There are many others who are older... stronger..." She glanced away before a soft blush crossed her face, as she no doubt knew the priests would scream if they herd her speaking in such a way.. "Not that.. I um... am not ungrateful." Her ears pointed down as she gave a mellow whine as the nervousness was starting to settle in again. "I... do want this to end..." She swallowed hard as her ears remained lowered. "But if there is something I can do to put an end to it..." she slowly raised her ears again. "I will do it." she nodded bashfully.
