Just Meri! [ She repeats it sunnily, but a laugh follows ] I can’t really imagine myself being Zenith at all. If there’s even a chance that my people could be saved, well, that’s what has to be done! If that ends up not being the case, then we can create a new world. You have to try first, right?
[ There’s definitely a simplicity and sureness to how Quetzalcoatl thinks of all of this, but it’s because in a way, it’s not unfamiliar. For the Aztecs, the cycles of the world are a certain thing. This world of man was the fifth to occur, and Quetzalcoatl has had a hand in shaping the previous four (and destroying them). There’s simply a distance to how she thinks of it that demonstrates her divinity more than anything else.
But even if the prospect of destruction on that scale doesn’t quite bother her as it would a mortal, it’s still depressing talk. She takes a swig from the bottle again, then laughs almost bashfully in the face of the praise. She loves praise, naturally, but also…! It’s different when it’s coming from someone pretty!
(She’s simple in a lot of things, as it turns out.) ]
But when you say things like that…! ¡Encantadora! My domain may be a beautiful place, but still, I’ll do my best to be a lucky charm, yes! [ she’s a limited ssr so already there ] Well, and protect everyone too, of course! I’m really strong, so if there’s fighting to be done, I love it!
