[.............. with grim fascination:]

Would you be able to see his expression if he was a worm?

[dulymoted]

You raise an excellent question.

[glub]

Yeah, why not? It's like when you listen reaallly carefully and can make out what the seagulls are saying. If you squint really hard, you can probably tell.

[ wait, are worms the one where they have two butts-mouths. ]

[aspirings]

[......... squinting like he's not sure if he believes this or not]

[dulymoted]

You can converse with seabirds? That's an useful skill. What sort of tales do they tell you?

[are they like the little birds artemis and aphrodite use]

[glub]

They're actually pretty big chatterboxes. Usually, it's just idle gossip, or about how hungry they are. Sometimes you can even gather enough of them and use their squawking to create a symphony.

[ real or a lie... no one will ever know. ]

[dulymoted]

That does strike as true. I know of a few gods and goddesses who use birds and beasts as their spies, but all living things are creatures of their own will and interests.

And if I was to guess, seabirds have little other to occupy themselves than appetites and idle musings.

[glub]

Yeah, they are. [ he smiles a little at that. ] I think it's better that way. If they were just empty shells, they wouldn't be able to offer genuine devotion either, so I'd like to think it's fair.

[dulymoted]

Do they offer devotion to you, Rafayel?

[glub]

Uh... it's a work in progress.

[ ... ]

[dulymoted]

You've got your work cut out for you.

Though you might have luck sowing the beaches with bread...

[glub]

Do you know where to find some? You could always join me.

[dulymoted]

Hmm. Well, I do know Dahut is meant to be an excellent baker. Perhaps we ought to beg him for a loaf, once he has the proper facilities to practice his craft.

[glub]

Yeah, Dahut did sound like he made some tasty stuff. But, what if we end up greedy and not wanting to share? [ lol. ]

[dulymoted]

Then he'll have to bake more. Or the others will rightfully come to claim their share by force.

I hope you're prepared for retribution.

[lmao. Also sets you freeeeeeeeee]
