He was glad that he had not angered Raiden, but while he wanted things to keep their friendly air, he couldn’t. Raiden was wrong, and he had to point out why. “Even though you might do something without the intent of doing something else, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be held responsible for what happens because of you. If I had been frightened by the thunder, would I have been at fault for, say, being startled enough to trip or accidently hurting myself. Anyone would say that it would not have been their fault, because in any other situation, they would have been fine. It was the thunder that caused their reaction. Since you caused the thunder, you would be at fault. It’s like someone pushing a rock that went down a hill to hurt someone. You had no control, but you started it, and that’s why you are responsible for what happened. Just because I didn’t hurt myself, you are still at fault for scaring me, even if you never meant to. Control or not, as a god of Thunder, you are responsible for what you do.” The god rose up on all fours as he spoke so that he did not seem small or weak in his defense of what he was saying. “…but thank you for being a friend. I know you didn’t mean any harm. You have helped me a lot, and that’s why I forgive you.”

Gee, this kid really liked speaking. Raiden actually zoned out on most of that, rather focusing on the cub's very blond and silly hair. He wasn't sure he'd be capable of handling hair like that. How did this kid live with himself? He'd probably have to... actually take care of something like that. Ugh. Just a simple, normal mane was fine, thanks.
Though he actually didn't hear most of the cub's little speech, he still reached the end part, and his ear flicked with irritation. Again with the forgiving crap? He didn't need forgiving! "I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, then. " He shrugged nonchalantly, but didn't bother to pursue the subject anymore. He didn't agree with this Khuluma figure, and that was that!
... Hm the haven had gotten boring again. "So, do you know how to get out of this place on your own? " Because I'm just about ready to ditch it and not come back.

Siiigh. "I'm not saying you don't make sense, what I'm arguing is no one has to agree with anyone, and if I disagree with you, and you disagree with me, and neither of us are about to budge on our opinions, then there's nothing we can do about it! " He hissed, ears flattening in annoyance. "Right, wrong, like, dislike, thoughts rely on opinion. Opinions can oppose, and though one may attempt to change another, there is no guarantee that it will happen. " He sighed, rubbing his face with a paw.
"So all there is left to do is agree to disagree, and move on with life. "

"There doesn't have to be a reason! " He groaned. "And even then, you already know why I disagree with you, because I already stated my opinion on the matter, and I agree with that, and since your opinion contradicts my opinion, I can't agree with it! " For a moment, Raiden was very tempted to give this little blond nuisance a whack on the head and see if that would make some sort of understanding. However, he was quite sure it would just generate more arguing.
"Like I said, when two people, or more, disagree, and no party is going to budge, then there's nothing anyone can do about it, and everyone should just deal with it and move on with life! " Raiden scowled, why the heck was he still here? He should just dump this cub, if he was just going to keep it up. Mmmf. It would be so easy to just vanish and go... pester Ethi or something, maybe even that Peke-figure, but Rai decided to hang around just a bit more.

“But ..but…” It didn’t make sense. “Then how can there be two answers? Who’s right? It’s can be a tie. Is it…did we both fail in convincing the other person, or…we didn’t win. If I lost, what did I learn? You haven’t told me why I lost or why you win. No one’s did anything good, and if you won’t budge, then I should have learned something to improve. Since you said I made perfect sense, I had to have done something wrong to not convince you enough. What did I do wrong?” It didn’t make sense, and saying that neither one was budging meant that either one side wasn’t convincing enough. He didn’t feel he lost, but he didn’t win Raiden to his way of thinking either. If he was suppose to meet other gods to learn from them, then that meant he had to learn something from Raiden.
“If I made a mistake, I want to learn what I did wrong.” The thought generally saddened and frustrated him, and he wanted to be better. How was he suppose to call himself a god of Rhetoric when he wasn’t even good at it? If he wasn’t good at an argument, he at least had to learn how to improve or have his opinion changed. Right? That’s how it worked.

Borning?! Redundant?! He didn’t get things that had no point, and he found it hard to understand when no one won or lost. “Well you’re just not making any sense. It’s not my fault you are being stubborn! I take it back. I don’t forgive you. You’re mean! ” He huffed, puffing up and opening his wings as he stood, glaring up at the other god for causing him such a headache. Not only did he make a lot of noise, he also didn’t even want to admit Khuluma was right or at least tell him what was making him disagree. Raiden probably didn’t know! He probably had no reason and didn’t want to admit it. As much as he was glad for the god helping him, he also didn’t like how he was treating him. “Go. I’m fine! Go make lots of noise someplace else. See if I care.” The little god turned about and sat, frowning as he hunched and stared at the dirt in front of his paws, letting his tails flick. Either Raiden would leave, and then realize he was wrong, or he would see it now. He just hoped he would come back and admit Khuluma was right, or at least give him an answer. If he didn’t, well, he was leaving this place anyway. He wouldn’t have to see him ever again! SO THERE!
