 Val's day was going just fine. She began her third day of herb hunting to clear sky and warm weather. Food was plentiful if not needed and there was a stream near by if she decided that a break would be useful. The plants she was currently looking for were easy to find and she even spotted some others that, while she didn't need them right then, were useful to collect as well. Drying the plants went even better. With little to no wind she was able to just spread the plants on a flat stone and wait while the sun did its thing. But that was where her luck ended.
Shortly after the noon sun started its downward decent a sound rolled across the grasslands. At first Val thought that it was a stampede in the distance but as the sound became louder she realized that it wasn't a mortal sound, it was thunder that was rumbling across the grass. There wasn't even a cloud in the sky.
It didn't take long before the constant rolling of thunder was getting on her nerves and Val couldn't help but say out loud, "WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!" She didn't really expect a response.

 Because he had been in the mood to make a racket, even though he knew it was a clear day, Raiden had thought it was best to assume an inconspicuous shape as he wandered about. Which was why, now, he was in the body of a black moue, scuttling about the lands carelessly, letting thunder follow the beats of his tiny paws.
It was perhaps amusing that the god of Thunder had very good hearing, considering he was always surrounded by such loud noises. Perhaps that was why. He could easily pick out sounds that didn't belong in a thunderstorm. Like that yelling.
Snorting a little mouse-y snort, the god picked up his pace and sought out whoever had told him to shut up. That wasn't a normal mortal reaction to this kind of noise.
"What is your PROBLEM?" The mouse boomed with a voice that would never belong to a rodent or even any normal animal. Now he near the green goddess, though perhaps not immediately visible due to his size.

Val did not expect a answer to her vocal annoyance over the noise so when out of no where someone or rather something asked what her problem was, Val was speechless at least for a moment. It didn't take her long at all to realized that another god was in the area even if they weren't visible. A quick glance showed no visible signs of another lion in the area let alone a god but all gods had powers over appearance.
"Show yourself!" She disliked not seeing who she was talking to, the irony of that thought completely missed her, "And if you must know that damn noise is giving me a headache."

Oh, the poor lady! Giving her a headache. The Raiden-mouse fluffed out his fur, irritated, as he looked up at the big green lioness. The god had apparently forgotten he wasn't in his true shape, and remained in his tiny little shape a little longer. "Headaches are no excuse for being rude!"
Raiden actually never got headaches. So accustomed as his brain was to all that sound, it was a little hard to upset him in such a manner. "And I'll show myself if I want to, not if you demand it!" Besides, it wasn't like he was really hidden. Just small. And the fact that his voice could sound like it came from anywhere might not be helping it, but... eh! No worries.

Once again Val looked around this time looking closely. It was the movement that caught her eye. A small black mouse stood in the grasses shadows just a few feet away. And it was looking right at her.
"Normally I would say your right. There is no real reason to be rude but in this case my first statement was just a vocalization of my irritation. It was not meant to really be heard by anyone but myself." She looked right back at the mouse and nodded. "Now I'm going to guess you too are a god, and since you feel quite 'possessive' of the noise I'm going to guess your the god of storms or noises or even thunder. I should probably introduce myself. Valetudo'sero, goddess of herb lore."
As another peel of thunder rumbled across the sky Val did her best to keep the answering pounding in her head under wraps but a winced still broke through. With a heavy sigh she gave up trying to appear strong and dug through her herb back that was laying on the ground at her side. She fished out a small packet of plants and started to chew on them. Val knew the painkillers would take a little bit of time to take affect and did her best to keep a even tone when she asked once more if the noise would stop, this time much politer. "If you would be so kind could you lessen or even stop that.... noise?"

"Oh, so you just like insulting people behind their backs." The Raiden-mouse snorted, which translated into another distant crackle, because he might be a little childish. Possessive! Did she not know anything? He didn't just represent Thunder, he was thunder. Or that's how the god thought. Any insult to the music of storms was an insult to himself. He'd long begun to ignore mortals and their whining, but another god being so stupid always irked him.
"Thunder. My current name is Raiden." As he said his name, the mouse was quickly replaced by a large black lion with wings and horns. In this form his expression was easier to read, and he definitely still wasn't pleased. "I might." He frowned, his tail thumping behind him a couple times. Each time, thunder answered in the distance. "If you apologize for the insult."
What? It was already well established Raiden could be a total brat.

Val paused a moment, a smart a** comment on the tip of her tongue. The little mouse, the thunder, and the corresponding pounding in her head all added to a shortened temper and next to no filter on what she said. So it was after a moment that she quietly said, in her calmest voice, "That is not what I said and I believe I already explained that. It was a rhetorical statement that had no baring on you or what you do."
She nodded greeting but her eyes opened in shock when she heard his request. His transformation didn't surprise her although the horns did make her do a double glance, why would the god of thunder require horns? It didn't even matter that he was slightly larger then her, after all if he was a large lion and she was the average male size then he was larger then her. Size did not intimidate her and so with out even stopping to think she snorted and said, "APOLOGIZE! For What? For saying something that I said in the heat of the moment? For something that I already explained and I think I already apologized for. You must be out of your damn mind."

"You didn't apologize. Not really. You just said," And he imitated her voice quite well. "My first statement was just a vocalization of my irritation. It was not meant to really be heard by anyone but myself." He was pretty good at faking noises, not just thunder. Perhaps he made her sound a bit snootier than she had actually been.
"And I'm not out my my 'damn mind'. When you are wronged, it is perfectly normal to expect an apology!" Even if Raiden didn't really deserve an apology, but no one would convince him otherwise. He thumped his tail against the ground, for effect, and thunder crackled a response.
