[ Days of charity? Quite often Aegis does what he can to help the mortals, and while he cannot grant them a bounty the way that Azem does, he can do other things to ensure their protection, even if it's something as seemingly simple as assuring they have fresh, clean water to drink without having to worry about disease.

The people who tend to ask help from him are those in some sort of distress as they travel from one point to another, and the situation here in the Nether is far too stable for many echoes to reach his notice on a day like today.

So yes, Sajj'aka is right. It's the sort of day where they can kick back and enjoy life, alongside humans if not directly with them. This boy has no idea that there are two gods so close, after all, and that is for the best. It's when they meddle too much that things become messy.

He leans back on his hands, palms flat against the warm rock, and turns his face up toward the sun to feel its heat against his face. His segmented wings spread out, as if he's stretching a muscle, and he indulges in a content sigh. ]

As am I. It's been too long, hasn't it? [ Not that he can recall how long, exactly, but the specifics don't matter. ] I'm sure Azem will make a point of finding you at one at one point or another. When she is done feasting, no doubt.

[ And then the easy silence between them is interrupted with a loud gasp from the Draconae boy. It seems he has a bite on the line. Aegis blinks his eyes open and leans forward; of course he wants to watch. ]

Well, it seems he didn't need us after all.

[ Even if the fish is ultimately lost, the excitement of it biting at all is no doubt enough to fulfill what the boy was hoping to find out here. ]
