Either she was going crazy, there was some deep metaphor behind all this, or she was talking to one of the local dieties in human form. She didn't think it concievable that the Gods would come to earth just to wander about... although it would explain the cat ears.
"Your big brother? Meeting Odin? Just who are you anyway little Mache?"
She kept herself calm, no need to make a big scene out of this. This seems like one of the nicer dieties anyway if that is what she really is. How could something that adorable be dangerous in the first place?

"My big brother is meeting Odin," Mache replies cheerfully, as if she thought that maybe she hadn't spoke clearly. Then she straightens up, and continues, "I'm Mache, just like I said. Oh! You don't mean name, do you? Well, I'm also the goddess of the wilds around here."
She's pretty obviously telling the truth, but as unwilling to make a scene as Carla is.

Carla covered her lips and took a deep breath when she heard Mache say the word 'goddess.' While she was doing a good job of physically covering up her worry she had already dropped her apple onto the ground.
"Oh, well then. I... I am really sorry I treated you like a child Mache, I promise it is simply because I didn't know better. This is all so new for me."
She looked around to see how everyone else was reacting to all this. She was a woman trained to be ready for extra-normal experiances, she could only imagine how regular people would see Mache now.

Mache shakes her head, and chirps, "It's okay, really... I just wanted to take a look around here while I waited. You don't have to be sorry."
A few of the passerby are staring in surprise, and the young goddess waves at them with a smile.

Carla after a while found a way to calm herself, well at least enough to make it so that her racing mind wasn't seen from outside spectators. She even found the time to frown at seeing her apple all dirtied on the ground, now just food for birds and insects.
"Well, I thank you kindly for your forgiveness. What in particular were you waiting for? Is someone coming to pick you up?"
If this was Mache... and she spoke of Odin. How was it possible for two belief systems to be correct. Could it be that several houses of the Gods existed in the plane above? It was hard by any standards to even believe in one, several was just beyond the realm of normal. She also forgot to question whether or not the child was telling the truth, the cat ears seemed to be enough of a sell to convince her for some reason.

"You're welcome... I'm waiting for my big brother to come, so we can go back home. He said to wait here because he thought I'd be bored or scared in Asgard." Mache's ears twitch, and she adds with a smile, "I think I hear him coming now. Maybe he'll let you ask him things?"
A man of unclear age, seemingly mid to late twenties, walks up behind the goddess and pushes her hood back up with a sigh. "There you are... You probably should keep this up, though." Noticing Carla, he raises an eyebrow and asks, "Who is this?"
"She's Carla. She has a lot of questions about me and what you were doing in Asgard. Is it okay if she asks you things?" replies Mache.

Carla takes a couple steps back now that a second possible deity has just approached. Things were getting to be a bit too much, her stomache was beginning to turn.
"Really sir, don't let someone such as me hold you up, I am on a buisiness trip and I saw your delightful sister. I... I didn't think it would turn into all of this."
It would be good to ask what the extent of thier influence is though. That way she wouldn't be starting a heavenly battle for followers by accident. They probably wouldn't like her preaching about Chaos-Dream within thier borders.

"There's no need to be scared of my brother, even though he is the god of death. If you look past that, Atrophy isn't that bad," Mache assures Carla.
"I'm in no hurry... Though I do have one question: What interested you so much about my trip to Asgard?" the man, Atrophy, inquires.
Right after Atrophy speaks, Mache produces a new apple, seemingly from nowhere and holds it out toward Carla. "I just remembered you dropped your apple. Want a new one?"

Carla nervously took the new apple, now not questioning who these people were. She couldn't help but tremble silently a little, knowing she was in the presence of Gods. For there to be more then one house looking over this world seemed inconcievable to her. Then again she was on a mission to preach for one such house.
"N-no, I don't know, I mean, I am a worshipper of Freya, so hearing that someone actually went to Asgard piqued my interest sir. I really don't have much to ask... besides... well, what is the highest area of your influence?"
It was bold she knew, but she wasn't about to start preaching another pantheon in lands held by these two. Now they know of her more personally then almost any of thier own followers. Being the friend of a God or Goddess is great, as long as you don't piss them off in the course of your lifetime.

"Here!" Mache answers with a giggle.
Atrophy narrows his eyes for a few seconds, the question caused a passing feeling of suspicion about why Carla is there. Then he clarifies, "This continent from as far south as the land reaches, and as far north as Brazil with the exception of Peru." The god of death shrugs. "I almost wish at times that Peru was included; the history of that land intrigues me."

Carla listened intently and as patiently as she possibly could. They were awfully nice to her, especially as a representative from a rival pantheon. For Odin she would fulfill her mission, and take some time to see some sights along the way.
"Thank you very much kind sir, I will keep that in mind. I know you said you aren't in a hurry, but I am still sorry for taking up your time. Just a tourist of sorts exploring the fruits of another pantheon's labor. You do a very good job with these parts."
She remembered that she had the new apple in her hand, and so took a clean bite out of it. It was so much better then the one that she had, she smiled approvingly to Mache, thanking her for providing this.

"Thanks!" Mache chirps. "Do you want to see anything in particular around here? A lot of people want to see the animals or the old places."
Atrophy just nods in reply, and looks a touch proud. So what if he is the god of death? The way he sees it, without death to balance out life, the living would soon strain the world beyond what it could support.
