Not many people have the aptitude to summon a god in the first place, and fewer would try, considering the price. But most aren't arrogant enough to try and summon someone like me without good reason [sometimes you have a shitty reputation in your own temple], so I do generally answer calls, yes.
[he shrugs.]
Well, that and anyone who entertains thoughts of seeing other worlds clearly doesn't have enough to do in their own.
Mmm, I see. There is a lot of repercussion if a Constellation were to descend. Other than the cost of Probability, they would likely kill any mortals in the area from their descending.
It was by the most recent Priestess of Darkness. I provided her with an oracle when she was young, so she already knew that if she called for me, I would come.
[far more of a guarantee than most magicians get.]
She summoned me during a large-scale sura attack that Agni, the other god summoned to Willarv, couldn't handle alone. As the crisis remained ongoing, I stayed on the planet for the next several years to handle the matter.
I told her how to survive when death would otherwise await her, and that she would one day need me—and that I would answer.
[less that an oracle itself is a guarantee, and more that this specific one he gave included the guarantee as a bonus. does not mention that she's hated his guts since they met so this isn't as sweet as it sounds
You would've seen her in my memory, before—the masked woman.
[he does smile a little. is it a nice smile? chandra might be incapable of that. but it's at least less smug-looking than his usual smirks.]
She was a capable summoner. Skilled enough to handle my power, or so much as a human can withstand being tied to a god, able to regulate her emotions and vigour, and knew when to be practical and put aside personal sentiments for the greater good.
[shocking no one these are qualities that chandra values. KINDNESS and EMPATHY? who needs those.]
[ a nod, she remembers who he is referring to. and.... ah. if she's staring a bit at his smile, no she isn't. it's not as if she sees him smile like this a lot. always grumping about.
it brings a more curious look from her. but as she listens, her fingers flex a little and she glances away. ]
... You talk quite highly of her.
[ these are all rather nice things to be said about someone. ]
[ she contemplates saying something else, and it's obvious from how she glances to him but. they are near the ferry and .. well, Uriel will make her way to it. just assuming Chandra is staying behind here on this island. ]
...I have some things to check up on so, I'll take my leave. Thanks again for earlier.

Was it handled in the end? Or...

No, it's still unresolved.

[ telling her of her fate. that is more familiar to her. ...also funny he doesn't because well ] What was she like?
[ she is curious..... though, when he says that it remains unresolved, her earlier assumption sounds to be more true.
she looks like she wants to ask, a bit of a conflicting look, but she closes her mouth and decides against it. ]

I wouldn't have gone out of my way to assist in her survival if I thought she'd be a dull and weak summoner.

Some would say that it's another way of how you show you care.
[ "she was just vital" no u care ]

She was more interesting than most humans.
[so chandra hit on her. terrible.]

You are very particular.
