[Shifting yet again, now to rest his chin on his knees as he looks over toward Mephisto and back away from the fire.]

Hm. What are you, anyway? Another god?

[WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GODS IN HELL.]

[teufelshund]

Practically speaking, we're not that far off, but most of us wouldn't usually identify ourselves as such. I'm one of the eight kings known as the Baal — the King of Time.

[THE REACTION HE HAS TO THIS NAME but at least it's not Beelzebul... Something about it definitely seems to ring familiar, but he keeps whatever that is to himself after a second.]

...The King of Time, huh. Hah. Every world seems to have its "eight kings".

[teufelshund]

[ he definitely notices there's a reaction, which is interesting, since that name didn't seem to mean anything to anyone else he mentioned it to... but he'll leave it alone for now. ]

Oh? Do I have a counterpart in yours?

[nascens]

[His brow furrows a little, but after a beat:]

We don't have eight kings, but we do have seven Archons. Gods who oversee each of the seven respective nations in my world.

[teufelshund]

Hm... That's interesting. We don't govern over specific regions or anything like that, just different aspects of nature. Most of the human world doesn't even know about us.

It sounds like it's like that in a few different worlds. I wonder if that ultimately makes things more or less complicated, though.
