Lesson One I'm Unreliable

I have never really been big on teaching anyone anything (other than people in my current life to never underestimate me). So while I was thrilled to teach Aelanes how to be an evil killer (together not like an evil person who kills, but someone who kills evil, now I realize that sounds bad either way), I also struggled like all get out to come up with actual lessons (I mean I've recounted how I've won in the past, I don't think "Now wait for someone to show up and distract your target before you kill him with necromancy" is a great lesson). Aelanes for his part was way too accomodating. When I went on and on about store management he listened attentively and not like faking it as I always do (technically I attend every City Council meeting, I've never stayed awake or paid attention to a damn thing but I've been there every time waiting for the day they call me up to serve, so far it has not happened).

I also sadly left him waiting for me for days while I slept off hang overs and didn't feel like getting up at a reasonable hour. Aelanes didn't wait around I started to hear tales of his heroism stirring up the locals (he saved a small child from a tree and caught a pick pocket, such is the little acts of heroism that stir up the locals). About the only thing I taught him initially was I liked to ramble and that I was completely unreliable. That's the problem with real people instead of the idealization of gods, real people are screw ups, gods are whatever you want them to be (or pretend they are until they come down and show you how bad they really can be).

Aelanes was just so accomodating I felt like I was letting him down, which is why I decided why wait for evil to show up, and instead took my show on the road! I figured we'd run across some evil entity or some other really bad thing eventually also I'd get him out of a boring town (and stop having the locals fall in love with his perfect hair and chiseled physicique look I'm petty as well!) He also thought it would be a great idea, though for him it was more of a chance to save more people than do local good, whatever works to get him to come with me! Because the alternative of course was a direct threat and gods know that no follower likes being threatened by god, even if its for their own damn good! See I was already being a condescending ahole, halfway to every other god I'd already met.
