Usiri'njozi yawned, stretching luxuriously. Although his awakening had been a rather rude one, when the stormborn had been in the midst of a famine, he was finding he was quite enjoying being awake again - if only because being so made him appreciate his sleep that much more.
It probably helped that he'd run across others since doing so, and the encounters had been surprisingly pleasant...and had required no additional exertion on his part. He supposed, had the unrest caused by the famine not worked itself out that he may have felt differently about his return to the mortal realm...but he wasn't overly inclined to spend a lot of time wondering about "what if" scenarios.
It was in this frame of mind that he caught a glimpse of another god, looking rather...forlorn. Hmmm. To approach him, or continue on his way?
Pondering his options for a moment longer, Usiri finally made his presence known - he rather enjoyed meeting others, as long as they didn't ask for any favors that required some large degree of effort, that is. "Things aren't that bad, surely?" He called out, taking in the other's rather dejected pose.

Usiri barely refrained from rolling his eyes. What was this god's domain...adolescent drama? However, saying so was likely to provoke an argument, and the god of sleep wasn't inclined to exert the effort required to potentially deal with that.
"Mortal realm or god's haven, I haven't ever found much fault with either." He replied easily, raising an eyebrow of his own. Well, as long as large-scale restless slumbers weren't waking him up from his rest, he hadn't found fault.
And then he shrugged. "And while mortals can be entertaining, I've ner particularly cared much as to whether they like me or not." The statement was stark, and punctuated by a large yawn. "Their lives are short, and have so little impact, for the most part - why would I spend my days worrying about something so inconsequential?"

Usiri was...more than a little surprised (pleasantly) at how the other god responded. For someone who'd seemed almost...aggressively upset, he'd responded more reasonably than Usiri had anticipated.
He made a noncommital noise in response to Pemota's musing, having little to offer on that particular topic. "They seem to be creatures of...extremes." he offered with a slight smile. "Whether it's extreme joy, or sorrow, or anger, they don't do anything in half measures." Inclining his head at Pemota's introduction, his voice was lazy, although he did respond in kind. "Usiri'njozi - and sleep is my domain."
At least the other male's realm gave some explanation as to why he was so fixed on the emltional state of mortals - Usiri remembered all too well the vague sense of discomfort that he'd felt when large numbers of mortals were all struggling to find restful slumber. "I haven't been to the haven in...a very long time." He replied, some time later. "So unfortunately, I know as little as you do as to why you were removed from it - you aren't the first I've met to mention it, however..."
He rather hoped he ran into someone who did have some idea as to what was happening up there, as curiosity, more so than concern, had captured his attention.
"Is this your first time down here among mortals, in this lifetime?"

"I can imagine that would be somewhat jarring." Usiri rumbled. He'd been born in the mortal realm, and while he had certainly visited the Haven before, he'd never felt compelled to remain for any length of time.
"It wouldn't be the first time that there was...friction between mortal and divine." He said after a moment, mentally shrugging. If he were honest, sometimes mortals almost seemed to go out of their way to provoke immortals. He'd never personally cursed any of them, but could certainly understand the temptation. "And some of them seem to blame our kind for everything that goes wrong, whether it's justified or not."
Turning his attention back to the topic at hand, he nodded slowly. "I've run into a few who have been confused by thr state of the Haven, but none yet who seem to actually know what's going on up there." He hesitated "But someone has to have an idea, so I hope you're able to find out, if that's your goal."
He was more than a little curious himself, especially with the signs that whatever ot was might be bleeding into the mortal realm...he just wasn't sure that his curiosity about it outweighed his laziness.
"How long has it been since you were ejected from the haven?" He finally found himself asking, the words pulled from him (almost unwillingy) by his insatiable curiosity.

"Exactly." he replied, nodding as he did so. "It's easy for them, to forget that while we have...a certain amount of influence over our domains, we don't, as a rule, exert it over it for every living being-we'd be a lot less idle, if we did." this last was said with a lazy grin.
"I tend to only notice it in a...passing fashion." Usiri admitted, grinning conspiratorily. Weeks of the haven being inaccessible was longer than he would have guessed - he knew he'd heard about it from multiple sources, but he'd assumed it was a more recent development.
"Have you found anything you prefer about this realm, over the haven?"

Usiri couldn't help it, he laughed outright, delighted by that response. "Technically, I believe I was born in the mortal realm, although it has been long enough that that...may not be the case" he finally rumbled, when his laughter had subsided. "Your words are kind, though, and for that, thank you." he grinned toothily, still entertained.
"I'm sure once you get used to it, you'll find it's not so bad - change happens rapidly, which can be exhausting, but I find I'm always curious to see what is going to happen, and mortals often manage to surprise me."

"I think it's fair to say that most mortals prefer being in more positive moods, as well..." he trailed off, a smile still toying with the corners of his mouth. "Hopefully you're able to find some mortals to show you those more upbeat times soon, then."
At Pemota's chuckle, he nodded in agreement. "If you take your eyes off of them for more than a moment, they can get into all sorts of...chaos." he said, only half joking. "And on that note, perhaps I should leave you to it..."
It wasn't that he was trying to be rude, but the sun was starting to set, and if there was anything that Usiri was consistent with, it was leaving plenty of time for sleep.

Pemota was not feeling his domain at the moment it was hard to feel positive emotions when you were stuck in the mortal plane and he wasn't really sure what else what was going on. He hadn't been able to get back into the gods haven in a long time and he was just wandering the rogue lands uncertain where he should go. Pemota let out a deep sigh he hadn't had much cause to visit the mortal plane till all the gods were kicked out and he hadn't had much chance to track down any of the other gods to ask what was going on and why they couldn't go home. Normally Pemota was a ball of happiness and nothing could rain on his parade but getting used to the idea of being in the mortal lands was a bit disconcerting. He had never really talked to mortals before, what was he to say, should he hide his wings? He was bigger than a normal lion in any case. His shoulders slumped he just wasn't in his right mind at the moment.
