[ at the mention of "gods", sabo can't help but snap the branch he had been holding suddenly and with far more force than necessarily. his true extent of his strength absent has sabo chuckling. he has never been particularly fond of redirecting his anger towards anything unproductive (suppose shrubby destruction is slightly productive??) but he's been limited here.

even still, cowards masquerading around as "gods" where the extent of their power only came by their ability to coerce others was the reason that people like sabo existed. even if there were people who were too afraid to rise up despite reaching their breaking points, sabo would gladly stand up for them. ]

I see that you have personal experience with people posing as "gods" as well. Maybe that is why he called us out by name.

[ or all of this, lbr. before saying else, sabo forgoes the branches and instead grabs a fistful of the shrub with a firm grip. he keeps his eyes trained on the plant as he speaks. ]

What are your thoughts on his offer? I know you have no qualms of killing if deemed necessary, and just now, I trust that the very idea of killing for him would be unacceptable under most conditions.

[ and here comes sabo just ripping a chunk of the shrub out from the ground. ]

Despite that, could you be tempted?
