These are words she knows, definitely, but there's not much context for Merwen for a deity being a lovely young woman present in the flesh. Her first impulse would be to compare it to lifeshaping, but this is clearly not that. Skilled lifeshaper that Usha the Inconsiderate One might be, she can't create something out of thin air. For about a beat, Merwen stares, while the clickfly chews away, unconcerned by any of this drama.

"Forgive me. You're a goddess? As in, a divine being who is worshipped?" She's trying very, very hard not to let her scepticism turn into rudeness. "Or is it more that your abilities give you influence among your people? Please, learnshare with me."
