Tilting his head as Chulane explained about the gods of his world (or rather, the stories made up to call them into existence) and the lack of magic, Neron couldn't help but feel envious. "It sounds wonderful. I'm sorry you ended up here," he said with a laugh. "An ice palace is hardly a fair trade for safety in the knowledge that you won't be cursed or tasked with something from a god."
The blatant curiosity about his status as Ascended ought to have been expected, and Neron had literally just invited questions. Still, it wasn't a subject he felt all that comfortable discussing, given how new it was to him. "All the better to bite you with?" He smirked. "I believe it's to interface with other races. With a bite, we are able to take on attributes of Abandoned or Attuned, even Accepted or those fabled demi gods people talk about."
