❝ Oh…it’s strange really. I personally don’t think of myself as a god, but…a lot of humans and pokemon do for some reason. ❞
Starla sort of knew why they did, but in her eyes, it wasn’t needed. There was also the whole factor of how she was worshipped in the past…she surely understood that less, but it was much more spiritual back then compared to the current days. She…sort of missed it, but at the same time, she didn’t.
She was happy to see that Flamma appeared to be calming down slightly. He looked so cute, all nestled against her.
❝ I suppose…they either appreciate what I try to do for the world, or they’re afraid of me “smiting” them. ❞ She snorted.
❝ I really don’t know. But I am grateful for the offerings…they always brighten my day, however small or large the gifts are. Especially during these times…my days have been rather dark… ❞
She muttered the last sentence, more to herself than to Flamma.
Flamma remembers the old days too, but unlike Starla, he barely had any sort of fondness towards it. His entire existence almost seems cursed sometimes, with how lonely he feels and how nervous he is to actually meet people.. it’s people that Starla that give him any hope in having a relationship past merely stalking someone.
... Well, sure he stalked Starla at some point, but that was in the past now, right? Now he knew he had a friend lingering about once more, and that in and of itself was the most reassuring thing he’s felt in a while.
Her quip about smiting almost made him giggle. The very thought of Starla acting like an unruly god seemed amusing, and little cartoon pictures of an angry moon bat throwing weird moon-shaped stones at people was honestly a pretty funny concept.
Though, her last few words are what really get him curious. ‘Her days have been rather dark?’ What was that implying? He didn’t really understand at first, but he tried to nonetheless.
“W--well, if your days feel darker, m--maybe knowing I’m still around w--will make you feel a little better, y-yeah?”
His friendship was re-assuring, because heavens knew he needed her friendship more than anything else right now. He’s grown quite used to holding down the negative vibes that normally taint his cursed spirit.
