[ The example that's technically the easiest to understand is also the embarrassing one... But also, he feels like it might not be the best example in this particular case, so. ]
I mean that I'm a god that's supposed to be neutral in all things. most of that is stuff no one else needs to care about. but it's all about balance at the end of the day
broadly speaking? it's bad luck. if you were meant to be victorious at something, could mean that destiny changes. you'd be losing now. could be minor, could be major. can't exactly see the future like I normally can, so also can't tell you something definitive
it's part of why I don't really interact with humanity too much. have an outsized influence on how things play out for them
[ laios... begging you to have tact one of these days... ]
Don't you get lonely, then? And also, isn't it tough if you really want to be friends with somebody but then you're trying to keep them safe? They could get eaten by a monster or something if you become their friend.
haha. ain't really about fairness. or it is, just on a scale that's hard for people to understand.
you won't see me lift a finger to protect anyone here and it's not personal. I can give you all the strength or the wisdom you need to overcome your battles. but the battle itself has to be won by your own efforts. not mine. that's the rules.
so sure. guess that's lonely. but that's just part of divinity.

I don't think that's very fair for you!
