Have you heard of Idrila? I am one who follows them ardently, as a Knight of Beauty. If you ever wish to ask anything of me, I will gladly answer, and do my best to assist.
NOTE
The universe is filled with beauty. No matter where one is in the cosmos, this is a truth ingrained in existence itself. Therefore, I shall treasure every meeting between each and every beautiful soul I cross paths with.
[ Argenti should have known, though at the same he hoped...and he still hopes.
Perhaps there can be a way to truly stem this god's power even after they're done with this. But he can see why there is no easy solution before their arrival.
After all, that is why they have been summoned here. Yet, the goddesses' foreboding words — that this god is laying the groundwork for something worse — feel unfortunate because he believes they are true, given that this god has targeted a center of the goddesses' influence. He can think of one possibility and that is even more unpleasant. ]
I suppose you must also be aware the others are not fond of the methods that you used. Is it because you felt you had no choice?
[ Not that it's entirely acceptable — especially since some people doubtlessly did not wish to be brought here, did not have a choice to, but they are here now, there is no changing that. That said, he can't help but wonder if he can maybe brainstorm better ideas for bonding...maybe so people aren't so frustrated and hurt. As he considers that, however, something else seems to be more concerning...if, perhaps, this god of conflict wishes to hold more influence — ]
...And, do you suspect that this god of conflict may attempt to expand his influence beyond this world? To try to reach out to others as you did to us, in order to enhance his power, and spread conflict on unfathomable levels as well as reach?
Creating connections isn't an easy thing! And it's not like we have all the time in the world, either - sadly, there are times when one must take off the baby gloves and instead pry people open like a delicious oyster!
...
I'm assuming oysters are delicious, anyway. A fair number of humans seem to delight in eating the things, though I can't imagine what was going through the head of the one who saw a little rock-like creature and decided it was good for consumption.
But I digress!
[Humans and their bizarre choices in food aside...!]
I doubt he would be able to expand his influence to other worlds, at least. The influence of gods seems quite contained to this world, though I suppose it could be an issue if he managed to get his influence on one of you and you were to be sent home like that. But fear not! Once we have beaten him back, I will be sure you are all purified of any potential god-stink before I send you along your way.
No, I believe his goal is to simply thrust this entire world into conflict.
Not exactly one Argenti himself has heard, but one nonetheless. His lips curl up even into a little smile, probably finding it amusing in good humor. ]
...I understand. Oysters are not something I typically have, or at all, but I do believe that people wouldn't eat them if they weren't delicious.
[ But, that's comforting; that he wouldn't be able to do that to such a great extent. Even if there is definitely a little 'but' in there somewhere. ]
Though that he is attempting to consume the world in conflict, I am very glad we will not have to be concerned about his attempts to infiltrate other universes! A pity he feels he must be so greedy to try to embroil an entire planet itself in one, though.
Oh, while we're talking about influence of him and choosing this area in particular due to its close history with you...does he have anyone on his side we should be worried about? You have diligent Mina carrying out your will. But, does have anyone notable on his end that you know of?
I am not privy to such details, no. But I am not sure he would have thought to bring in strangers from other worlds for his dealings, either.
Your situation aside, it is not a common tactic among the gods here. After all, it takes much more effort to influence those not of our own world than it does to influence the people already here.
[ Well, he supposes he didn't exactly think that far ahead about the god of conflict bringing in strangers...which, to be honest, he didn't. But it's good for her to confirm anyway. ]
I suppose I don't have much else to ask you, then. Other than one more question:

[ He thinks that seems clear enough...after all, that is what they're here to do. But, perhaps, that is true in many situations all the same.
Argenti doesn't think he'll have much trouble getting along with others, though (lol) ]
I shall bid you farewell, unless you wish to ask anything of me in turn.

Take care, my borrowed rose.
