This place seems bound and determined to create them.
[ If it's her respect of him that makes her discard the knife and rocks, he's grateful for it this time. Not only for the water's sake, but her own--continuously mutilating yourself in a fugue state like that for heaven knows how long isn't good for anyone, not even gods.
He tilts his head toward the shoreline, raising the bag as if that explains enough about his intentions. ]
[Dara slips out of the water and gathers her tail into a coil to perch atop. Even if he didn't have the bag, she would've come to his side if he asked that of her. With some slight hesitation, like she does now, but there's no reason to deny Seimei.]
Y'know...I didn't think I would be fooled as I am now, but I also didn't expect someone to be such a moron. Even if I wasn't a god, he'd still be an imbecile. [Sorry, man, she's gotta get this out. It's sitting too heavy in her head to enjoy his company.]
It makes me wonder if it's worth trying to get to know others-- not that I mean you or anyone else I already spend time with. I just mean...new people. It's taking on too many risk-factors and wasted energy.
[ Honestly, her going ahead and laying everything out is doing him a huge favor. Comforting people on a personal level isn't something he has much practice in, so he wouldn't have had any idea how to broach the subject if she'd let them sit in silence for a little while like he'd originally planned.
But just because he has a better jumping off point doesn't mean he immediately knows the best way to use it, so there's still some thoughtful silence while he takes a seat right on the damp earth, retrieving bottles from the bag for the two of them. ]
Humans are, at large, imbeciles.
[ That he has no problem saying with his whole chest, offering a bottle towards Dara. Nothing too special, just apple juice. ]
It can be an exhausting task to weed through all the selfishness and deceit on your own for so long.
[The god retrieves the bottle, giving a quick bow of her head as she does so. There's a dry chuckle at his initial statement, but Dara ends up frowning to herself as she uncapped the drink.]
No, that's not how it is. I was alone for...a century or so until recently. If we don't count my shrine's caretakers over the years.
[After a sip, the contents are swirled around bottle in a lackadaisical manner.]
For a long time, I killed, cursed, or scared away anyone stupid enough to enter my territory. I wasn't exactly social in any sense.
