[Nothing in Farfarello's tone suggests that he's angry or even mildly offended by the offer. But the words he uses sets off an alarm in the back of Simon's mind. More and more, he's getting the impression that whomever this shinki was in life has made him...very intense. And Simon isn't interested in playing the part of the devil in whatever Farfarello thinks is going on.

His hands shift, lifting up and palms facing out now in a placating sort of gesture. He stays calm, his voice still gentle.]

I would much rather have a partner than a servant, but only if that's what you want.

[Violence is the last thing Simon is worried about at the moment. Maybe it should be, but the god's already learned that anyone who tries to hurt him hand to hand is due to regret it in very short order. But that could also be making him less cautious than he needs to be.]

My name is Simon, I'm a reincarnation of Ixtlilton...a god of medicine, healing, and protection. If you think that's the kind of god that you want to serve or that you should, then I'd be glad to offer you a name. If not, then I could find some other way to help you...or I can leave you be if you don't want that either. I'm not here to test you.
