Draiss sighed, and pulled her into his lap, before inhaling deeply. "I think being not scared of a Ragnarok goddess is better than having to beat every god senseless because they think I knuckle under at the first sign of hostility. And it wasn't incredibly stupid. She is known for nursing grudges even among dragon gods, so just stopping her in her former Fane meant she would take pains to slowly kill me and everyone near me. She doesn't forget, nor does she forgive. I was already on her shit list, but now everyone knows it.<br/><br/>While that does make the ally procurement a bit harder, I have the three I wanted, and the only optional one already as well. Everyone else is just gravy. The first three knew about me and Tiamat, though I need to go and let them yell at me now as well. Or maybe they will come here, it is nice and secluded, so they can even draw blood if they want.<br/><br/>Sorry, went on a tangent. So, Tiamat will now have a harder time being taken seriously, which means that she will be less likely to be  able to get every evil god in on jumping me. Semi-calculated risk. I knew the first thing she would do once she realized I had shown up would be to seek me out, but I didn't think she would be so foolish about it."
