"Sunjata helped himself. I merely showed him that all he needed he already possessed." The goddess corrected, arms folding tighter around herself. As for always knowing what to say? What was she, a greeting card?
"Took on the blight?" She repeated, brows narrowing as upper lip twitched into a near sneer. "No, darling boy, I did not take on anything willingly. Unless you are confusing me with Arduinna. Oh no, I was infected with the blight just like everyone else. And, like everyone else, I nearly died. I needed Vi to save me. It wasn't strength on my part."
All in all, it sounded like Oliver had spoken to exactly one person who knew of her first hand and had positive things to say (Sunjata) and one who didn't. Presumably that was Jigano.
"So I am supposed to help turn your life around, and in response you will mistakenly explain my role in the blight, mention how I have helped one person you know? Oh, and that I always know what to say?" Dangerously cold starlight flickered in her eyes then as she stared down at Oliver. "Admit it. You know nothing of me, other than that I might help make you great. A greatness you don't deserve. You come here making promises you can't even begin to keep."
