[She frowns at that, deeply sympathetic.]

...I know you can't take it off, so I won't ask you to, but I bet you don't look like a freak.

[divus]

I'm not sure you'd still feel that way if you could see for yourself, but...thank you for saying so, anyway. It makes me feel a little bit better.

[Finally, Justice looks back up at Zoe again.]

Kind of like I have friends! Real friends.

[requiemed]

[That gets a genuine smile.]

I'd like that, too.

[divus]

So...you'll be my friend? Really, Zoe?

[He sounds so incredibly excited!!!]

[requiemed]

[She nods.]

Yeah. I bet a lot of us here would, if more people came to meet you.

[divus]

I hope they'll come to meet me. I'm always hoping that people will!

[Please come talk to this lonely child???]

[requiemed]

I can try asking people to, if you want.

[divus]

I...I'd really like that! I get shy, sometimes.

[Pretty obviously.]

[requiemed]

Yeah. It can be hard, especially when people are kind of... wary of some of the gods, right?
