Auru bowed his head in turn. He may be frightened and very unsure of himself, but he had been raised with some semblance of manners, and he acted on learned instinct, returning the gesture politely as he had been raised. Orange eyes find themselves unable to look at the god's face, but he does hear the words, and even if he is afraid, he does notice the softer tone in which the are spoken.
“I am sorry for startling you. I forget how much of a shock such a thing must be, to some.”
And with that, the strange god was on his way.
Auru stood for a moment, simply watching the other go, before slowly beginning to take steps in the opposite direction, looking over his shoulder every other one to watch the figure fading into the distance, both looking to see if he was being followed and to see if the god wanted to wreak any more havoc on this world. Seeing nothing, his pace increased to a trot, and when the other man had faded into nothingness, a frightened gallop, even if it was not breakneck, it was still rather fast.
How much of a shock such a thing would be to some people?
What, was that normal where the god came from?
Well, he assumed that if the other man really was a god, then it would make sense for such a thing to be commonplace, but what was a god doing in Novus?
For Vespera's sake, what happened to the days when the most dramatic event was inter-court conflict and someone with magic? When had gods started crawling out of the woodwork and toying with the lands of Novus at their very whimsy. It left poor natives like Auru estranged and very frightened and confused.
But, at least, it seemed that poor natives like Auru weren't their intended targets, and he managed to scamper his way back to the safety of the swamplands without having gotten so much as a second glance from the world-traveling god.
