"No," Astral assured quickly. "I… it was early in the world. I just wanted a child." He still did, of course, but he spoke in the past tense to help ease Simon's tension.
"But Mother thought I would. She took him with her, and… when he finally left, he was a god, and the other Earthly were made at that time too. She always works in threes, after all."
“Oh okay.” Simon said. It was an odd story for sure. “Thanks for telling me.” He said, relaxing a bit more now that he’d been reassured that he wasn’t in any danger.
"You're welcome," Astral said, nodding. "This is… well, this is my first time telling anyone about it, actually. Hell, I don't think Derlik even remembers." This brought a soft chuckle to Astral's lips as he shook his head.
Simon smiled softly. It was odd to think about, that there were gods that had once been young too. “Oh shit I should probably tell everyone that I’m not dead.” He chuckled softly, pulling out his phone.

Kye: +Marcos mm hm, but mostly when she’s in a good mood. i usually still have to call her Mother
"Ah- yes, that would be good. So you're friends don't have to worry too much." Astral nodded some. It was still strange, hearing Simon chuckle again. Things really were getting better, weren't they? Emile was right…

(so I was listening to music and the song "Twisted Games" by Night Panda and Krigare super fits this pantheon, especially Astral)

("I think they're my friends but I forget their names" That's totally Astral @ all the trinket souls aha)

((XD this is great!!))
('I lost all my senses but I can't complain' is what the song says but my brain goes: I lost all my memories but I can't complain-)
"Ah- yes, that would be good. So you're friends don't have to worry too much." Astral nodded some. It was still strange, hearing Simon chuckle again. Things really were getting better, weren't they? Emile was right…
“I don’t know if they’re necessarily my friends but….” Simon shrugged. “Either way, they’ve been informed.” He said, setting his phone back down.
(Kye would openly say Simon's his friend since he hasn't been mean uwu)
Marcos is typing…
Marcos: I hope too. I… want to work this out with him. For good this time.
Kye is typing…
Kye: i mean… he might be a bit messed up but he doesn't hate you at least
Kye: stood up for you a bit earlier on here i think
(Kye would openly say Simon's his friend since he hasn't been mean uwu)
((Awww yay! Simon needs more friends tbh))
"I've met some of the people on that chat," Astral admitted. "I know Kye would call you a friend. Hell, the child calls me Uncle Astral…" The god shook his head, a small smile on his face. "And he has for quite some time."
Marcos is typing…
Marcos: That is good news, at least
Marcos: I'm glad he doesn't hate me, after what's happened. I know I deserve it
“Does he really?” Simon smiled softly. Astral didn’t seem like the type of guy who’d tolerate that.
"Yes, really," Astral said, chuckling weakly. "It was… very strange, in the beginning."
“I bet.” Simon chuckled softly. “I didn’t think you’d tolerate that type of thing.”
"I didn't think I would either," Astral admitted. "But… it's grown on me."
