[Damn but he actually smiles at that]

Is he something of a mentor?

[Said like he's familiar with the concept of "tough mentors" for some reason.]

[robopriest]

He sure is. He raised me, too. A lot of what I learned is because of him.

[His usual tone is carefree, but talking about a man who is literally his foster father, he sounds softer, sincere.]

Its funny, though. You wouldn't think he's as powerful as he is - he's kind of timid and gets nervous around people. But really, he's a force to be reckoned with when he wants to be.

[antaressnipe]

Sometimes those with the greatest strength surprise us. It is interesting how we are often judged based off of the world's criteria...

[He's not trying to get too philosophical here, it's just an amusing thought all around]

There are not many myths about me, but they all seem to center around my teachings, even though I lived a very long life with plenty of mishaps.

[robopriest]

Mishaps?

[Now he's just leaning forward, propping his chin on his hand.]

Now you have to tell me some of them. What kind of trouble did Chiron, the great teacher, get up to?

[antaressnipe]

[...]

Do you know who my teacher was?

-- Specifically, my archery teacher.

[robopriest]

Hm. It's been a while since I read the legends, but...wasn't it Apollo?

[antaressnipe]

[Oof. A slight wince, like he expects Hansa's head to pop off for that answer]

Apollo taught me many things, yes, and in some ways was like an uncle...

[Which is hilarious bc in the family tree, Chiron is HIS uncle--]

But no, it was the goddess of the hunt: my Master Artemis.

[robopriest]

Artemis? Ah, that makes sense. The Goddess of the Hunt herself. From the stories, she was quite the uncompromising woman.

[But there's clearly a story here. He nods at Chiron to continue.]

[antaressnipe]

... Yes. That is... a worthy description of her.

[he is speaking so, so carefully.]

She is ... a very expressive teacher that understandably will not have any students defiling her good name. And so, it's imperative that no one miss their target under any circumstances...

[Well, no, that's not completely fair, but it's not inaccurate either? He picked a difficult story to convey]

As she was instructed by her fellow gods to teach me, I was often sent on hunts to assess my growth. Of course, I never missed my mark and brought back every animal I was instructed to kill as an offering.

[Absolutely never mmhmmm]

But there is once that I might have... done less than my full duty...
