Guess I can count myself lucky that mine tend to make at least some sense now and then.

[Particularly the nightmares. Oh, he knows where they come from and what they mean.]

So you weren't the type of being to take a hands-off approach, huh? And to be leading an entire group of people... That's pretty damn impressive, even for a god. It's not easy to exert influence over the masses, be they mortal or immortal. How far did your guidance take them, your people? Did it lead to a peaceful existence for all, or merely allowing civilization to grow to a certain point that they can manage on their own without a guiding hand?

[He's very curious about what life for such a deity must be like. As a god who can only help a few people at a time, there's a great sense of admiration for the other man in his voice and eyes.]

So basically all you did was step down from being in charge. Huh. Unless you happen to now be a mortal with godly powers?

[He's just double-checking to make sure he's following along correctly.]
