[Scaling the nearby rocks with ease to meet the Storm Lord-a plus in this form at least-Gabe glares at Susano. For one reason or another his stare doesn't falter, as if he might have been afraid to look anywhere else.]

If I was meant to be like this, I would've been born like this. But I'm not. I just want to be a Normal. Ass. Human.

The sooner I can be myself, the better. For everyone.

“Ey, it’s great to hear you have a good relationship with your sister!" Kuiper said with a friendly grin. "And I feel ya, sometimes siblings can get on your nerves, but it's important to keep a good and healthy relationship with them if possible."

"As for us, we get along great! I mean, we have our own little tussles from time to time, but what siblings don't?"

“It can be a bit rough keeping in contact, with all of our duties and whatnot, but we try to meet up at least once a week to chat and trade info. We rotate whose place we visit too, so we can check up on how they’re doing in more ways than one. We help each other as much as we can!”

"Like, legitimately gross. That's how you greet a complete stranger? A stereotype and then asking me what I'm doing when I'm just trying to have some time to myself on a beach?"

"Unless you have something nice to say, go away. I'm not in the mood."

Sphene mulled over the question for a moment, quiet and thoughtful. It certainly wasn't an odd question, but the context of why he wanted to know was interesting. After a moment, she turned towards Raiden, a small smile on her face. 

“I can see where you’re coming from! Having a legend built around you is quite flattering, but you also need to keep in mind the great duty that comes along with it. Stories that follow us legends around will most often be ones of either praise or scorn, and it is your actions that play a large role in deciding which one will be spread.”

“Using my own story as an example, I was a mortal who Ascended to godhood alongside my companions after our quest had reached its end. It was done in an effort to save my life, and to give the empty mantle of Rayquaza to someone trustworthy who would not abuse that power. I was spurred to action due to the chaos the world was in, and my work brought calm and peace where I went. This, alongside my subsequent Ascension, are the reasons legends are spread about me.” It felt a little awkward talking about herself this way. She was not one to brag or boast, but Raiden had asked, and so she had obliged.

“I do my best to live up to those stories, to the legends I made. I work hard to ensure that, when people see me coming, they’ll know everything will be alright. The trust and hope people put in me is one of the great burdens and joys of being what we are, and without them I would not be what I am today.” 

There was acid in her tone at that remark. She didn't understand what he was trying to imply with the comment about her tail, but it wasn't good, that much she could tell.
