To the guest room!

As soon as you make it back up from the cellars you are met face to face with a servant who looks at you and Dea curiously before a knowing look settles on his face.

"Like father like son-ow!"

You don't let him finish, giving him a light tap on the back of the head that contains a lot more strength than you expected, you're going to have to get used to this increased strength stuff.

You apologize before quickly making up a backstory to your staff explaining that Dea is the daughter of a family friend and will be staying at the castle for about a year. That doesn't explain why the two of you just emerged from the cellar but fearing another slap he doesn't seem to question it as he quickly springs into action rounding up some other and organizing a room for her. A little while later, as the door to the room opens up, you see the range of emotion on Dea go throw multiple stages, from excitement and anticipation to disappointment and...your guess is disgust? either way, she doesn't seem pleased.

"What's with this place?! I've seen pigsties in better states."

You shrug "Now that has to be an exaggeration, it isn't that bad, plus it's a work in progress, we just have a couple of situations we haven't dealt with yet."

"Oh, really, and what are these 'situations'?"

You explain to her the predicament you're in with your father and the state he left the dukedom in, as soon as you finish your retelling of everything she begins laughing heartily.

"Well, I can't blame him, what else is someone to do with their power other than satisfy their desires?"

You groan she and Leom are not giving you a good first impression of deities.

"Anyways what type of guest rooms does not have a tv set? I want to watch Pantheon's Next Top Model, I swear to me that Altriea's getting eliminated this week. (stuck up bitch)"

You stay silent, your patience is simply being tested, you just have to remain quiet and not let her get the better of you.

"So is that a no?"

You turn back around, she got the better of you. "No we don't have a 'tv set' (you don't even know what that is) matter of fact we don't have shit, because the man you 'can't blame' did nothing but think for himself, it's honestly a miracle a coup hasn't happened yet, he's left me with a crumbling castle, massive debt, an army, half of which have deserted and the other half of which are cannon fodder for the king's front lines and to top it all off a rampant cult running wild in our territory terrorizing the folks, which we can't deal with by the way, because we have no army."

You breathe heavily as you sit down on the edge of the bed and try and calm yourself down. As soon as your mind clears up a little you feel your stomach drop: you just got pissy with a freakin' goddess, you've seen what she's capable of, she could very easily beat you up, break every single bone in your body and leave you eating through a tube for the rest of your life and simply claim it as punishment for your insolence.

The room is silent for a while before you can hear someone shuffle their way towards you, you turn to look and spot Dea trying her hardest not to make eye contact with you as she sits beside you, clearing her throat. "Well since I'm going to be here for a year, I doubt I could live peacefully in such conditions, so I have decided with my holy goodwill to tell you that uh, I'm here if you need help to deal with any of these problems." she looks as if she trying really hard to get the next part out for a few seconds, "And uh, I didn't mean to anger you, _ahem _what I said may have been... a little insensitive, by human standards."

You look up at her surprised, well would you look at that, maybe she can be nice after all.

"I-I guess I should apologize as well, I shouldn't have snapped." you answer sheepishly.

Dea's hand makes its way towards your face before she bends her finger, flicking you on the forehead. "Damn right you shouldn't have, now if you don't mind, get the hell out, I want to go to bed."

Never mind, there it is.

You don't need to be told twice though. You stand up and leave, closing the door behind you.
