[His lip curls a little at that, the smile mean and viperous but also kind of reflexively disgusted. Not toward Roxana but toward his ALIEN FREAK WHO DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING PAST SELF.

You're being too generous in your assessment of her.
[ she figured it'd get that kind of reaction. you don't become someone who didn't want to cause discomfort to someone who wants to cause all discomfort without some of those feelings. roxana would prefer to be able to do good, but she will no longer choose to do that anymore. it gets her nowhere. ]
Perhaps I am, perhaps I'm not, but I like keeping my words subtle. Needling, as you put it.
[It got her nowhere! It also got him nowhere. He does not prefer to be able to do good about it, though, so he does not have to deal with that conflict.]
You do have a way of weaving your words so they're quite soft at first glance and rather cutting if you look for a second longer.

Those people were often well-liked and well-suited to diplomatic engagements.
[ objectively, she is beautiful. this is not ego. it's what she considers fact because her mother is considered and known to be one of the most beautiful women of her world. ]
[SHE IS BEAUTIFUL OBJECTIVELY EVEN IF (HEI VOICE) HIS EYES DON'T WORK LIKE THAT. It's the curse of the divine all naturally being beautiful, you just get used to be surrounded by people who don't look like npcs.]
Unfortunate that being well-admired doesn't save you from having to undergo the same idiotic trials we've all been burdened with.

[HE KNOWS HIS PERSONALITY IS SO BAD!!!]
But yes, that one.

[ SHE IS JUST SAYING EVEN IF HE WAS AN ALIEN FREAK WHO DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING he was cute as an alien freak who didn't know anything. ]
She can be a little too insistent sometimes.

How kind of you to notice. It suits my approach to most things.

If it did, I'd be free of many other things as well. Being divine doesn't save you from having to undergo these trials as well.

No, it doesn't. [Said with a little rise of his shoulders. It is a nightmare out here.] There is always something with grander power out there.

If things like that didn't irritate me, perhaps I would have been comfortable staying under the thumb of the existing gods in my own home.
