Tho—

[The would-be mental shout cuts off before the first syllable is even finished. There’s a brief pause, and then Pod’s actual voice comes back, and it’s all filtered away from baby Rose.]

Those spineless, mealy-mouthed, Hornet-hoofed, pustulant offspring of asps and dark mages! They can’t claim me! I belong to Kerras. I don’t—

Argh! Goddess curse them to never find rest nor hearth.

One of the Trumps marked me, put a claim on me, and I belong to the Great Stag, not one of them! It's blasphemy!

[There's a pause.]

As powerful as they are, I guess they wouldn't necessarily have to defer to other gods, but it's still quite rude to claim someone who's already sworn to a different god.

[ Jess pauses, and sounds more amused than anything else when she answers: ]

Have you forgotten they kidnapped us? There are a few things I'd call them before rude even made the list, but yeah, that's true as well.

[wolvering]

The gods do mysterious things sometimes. I don't like it, but if they needed us to help other worlds, that's less rude and more just... being a god.

[In Pod's mind, arguing with the gods really isn't a good idea, even if she can't hold back about some things.]

[teamsad]

Hah. The gods I know still get punched if they don't treat people like people. It's the only way they'll learn.

[wolvering]

By other gods, maybe, but I can’t imagine anyone getting away with punching a god where I’m from!
