Not without temporarily healing myself. [He says as he finishes carrying out Lloyd's instrunctions.] But the methods he uses...the way his power is shaped.

I can do it once I'm healed but, I'll need to train up to it. It surpasses normal human limits. ...tell me, what do you know of gods? [He studies the bowl on his table and is grateful he dodges the family talk. Nothing he wants to say about that.]

[boredalready]

[Lloyd doesn't answer right away, instead telling Komaeda how to mix the eggs, milk and spices while the pan with a little oil heats. It gives him the opportunity to answer without being pissed off and yelling.]

We don't have gods on Aselia. Bunch of Summon Spirits that have to have pacts so that the summoner can use, sure, but the Goddess Martel was... just a girl who helped our world and the story got messed up somewhere down the line. Probably because her brother wanted it to be.

So, other than that, I don't know anything about them.

[eyeswideopen]

They're often used by ancient cultures to explain things they don't understand. Why was the sea parted? A god did it. Why did the sea destroy that town?

[Komaeda sets the pan on the burner and follows Lloyd's guidance. As he's mixing the eggs, milk, and spices together he says in a calm voice,]

That's not so in his world. The gods are real, and long ago they went to war with each other in a time called the Age of Myth. One god defended humanity, who used to be but a whisper apart from being like gods themselves.

The goddess my master serves, is one and the same. The Greek Goddess, Athena. Known to most realms that hold her as the goddess of war and wisdom.

[He pauses to check the pan as he adds.] Considering what he's capable of, and I would know I fought against him during the possessions...I shudder to think of what his gods can do.

[boredalready]

I mean, I guess that makes sense. A lot of stuff happens that people don't understand. Although, when bad stuff happens on Sylverant, we know that the Desians are responsible.

[He watches as Komaeda follows instructions well and lets him continue to try and gauge when it's ready to start actually cooking, meanwhile thinking.]

Just because these gods are strong doesn't mean that if they're too... what's that word I heard... oppressive that they shouldn't be taken down. No one has the right to keep others down. No one.

[eyeswideopen]

I agree. No one has the right to our futures. [He knows when oil starts to thin the heat is approaching the smoke point. But that's about all he knows.]

...I assume the pan is almost ready.

Anyway, to explain - his power can split the sky or ground. With his fist. I was very lucky that even possessed he didn't outright attack. [Komaeda pauses to stare at the pan again as he adds a touch amused.] Both far too powerful people I've had to tangle with had no desire to fight unless attacked first, actually.

With the exception of when Hinata was possessed.

[boredalready]

Yeah, pour in the mixture slowly.

[Please don't burn it, Nagito. Please.]

I don't know anyone that.... [He stops as he thinks about what Mithos accomplished, even with help and frowns.] You know, what. I do. That's the kind of person my friends and I have to fight, the one ultimately responsible for why Colette was so sick.

[eyeswideopen]

Tell me about them? [He asks, as he follows Lloyd's directions. The egg mixture slowly fills the pan, spreading out. Komaeda tips the pan slightly over the heat, filling in the holes.]

[boredalready]

Tell you about what? Yggdrasill? [He frowns as considers telling Nagito about the head of Cruxis.] It's a long story. Maybe another time.

You might want to pick a side to flip while it's still slightly soft. Otherwise, you're just gonna have a egg pancake. Also, if you're going to put anything in it, like cheese, now's the time.
