I am a quiet god -- a quiet person -- and I only insist that those with whom I converse be honest and kind of heart. Perhaps it sounds trite, but I look past the surface, because that is my work as a Yama, a god of spiritual judgment.
[Before he can freak out about that part -- humans tend to flinch at least a little at the prospect of judgment -- she holds up a finger to politely silence him for the addendum:]
But I prefer to speak rather than to smite. Don't worry about that.
