That's what she says all the time, anyway. It's like, whatever. She can talk about being strong all she wants, but she's not going to win this game if she doesn't start telling people what they want to hear.
There are different kinds of strengths, it's true. Speaking to a group as strange as this may not be within everyone's means.
[Not including herself. Or Ambition. Not dragging anyone in particular, really -- public speaking isn't for everyone. Public speaking just doesn't usually come with a side of world creation. Life sure has gotten complicated.]

Then what you want is recognition from the other gods, isn't it? After all, we contestants are but visitors here -- once victory is decided, we'll merely be returned to where we are meant to be.

[She seems to be genuinely looking forward to it.]

due to the mask, it's not any different from any other way she's looked at her]
Not yet. But I'll get it once I win.
