"Her power grows with the Creeds." Merely an observation. The Creeds have changed much for this god and their Creature. "But she is still undisciplined."
This is a risky thing to say. But it's the truth as far as Lethys is concerned. In case Monzun is not pleased, he tempers the blow a little.
"There is no lasting harm from a Swarm of that nature. A Creature's body can recover from far worse."
If they look hard, Laetes' fur is a little mussed in some places, like it's been fluffed into directions that hide the thin patches. His fur sticks out at odd enough angles already that the signs are subtle. But Lethys speaks the truth again; no real damage was done. Whether Laetes' temperament is different to Ichor's or whether Lethys intervened is hard to discern.
Laetes, too, is sick of standing around. When Sweetheart suddenly moves to scratch her nose, he full-body flinches like he's expecting a claw to his face, but recovers fast.
The Heal sweeps through him and soothes the raw places under his fur. His temperament however remains unpleasant. A twitch of the edges of his lips indicates they desire to peel back and show his teeth, but he obediently withholds the response.
Lethys is quiet. This is awkward - no way for a god to feel! What does Monzun expect from them? What does the Creature expect? Either way, Laetes needs something constructive to do or his patience will wear thin.
Suddenly, Lethys calls:
"Laetes. Return the gesture." The sound of fingers snapping seems to call Laetes immediately to attention.
With a wildly focused look, Laetes steps back, traces the same pattern in reverse, and casts a far less impressive Heal.
