The abundance is so great though, the lake literally overflowing with life and bounty (enough that some independent communities have sprung up around the lake to share the resource), that more and more the people of Bexley are accepting you as what you claim to be; a living goddess physically among them. Before, most might have attributed your apparent powers to sorcery or some such, that you were a powerful enchantress from some foreign land. But between your tireless benevolence and insistence to live among them as a fellow human, and your undeniable divinity, the claims of godhood are increasingly difficult to deny or explain away. More than just that, you're <span class="mu-i">their own</span> beloved goddess, Sedjet the benevolent mother and savior of Bexley. As such you once again start to gain followers from the more devoted of the populace, but even the majority otherwise are taken to religious fervor and are donating their worldly possessions and offering themselves up to you however you wish.
Though a bit of a prickly point for you, that the people are doing so through the church. Again, you don't really have much issue with this traditional religion of theirs, if they commit their souls to their God then that's no business of yours. But same as back in Eindward, you desire to keep separate of it, yourself and your divinity. The problem is the people have trouble understanding or grasping the idea of a divine being separate of their God, they believe you to be something of an avatar or servant of their God. A trouble you've encountered before and still aren't exactly sure how to deal with it.
<span class="mu-s">"How about festivals ma'm? How'd they party?"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"Food and drink? I wonder what they ate!"</span>
<span class="mu-r">"Festivals? Oh I know some..."</span>
The benefit of the over-pouring love the people have for you now though, is the acceptance towards Menaji culture and social style. Because you've had time to spend to yourself, you've had plenty an evening among the people (high and lowborn alike) of song and dance and storytelling of the Old Kingdom and the desert homeland. Sharing the culture of those ancient humans and yourself, across time and distance with these humans now. Even aspects of the old faith, so that you can avoid confusion in the future and impart to people how they can best pay tribute to you if they absolutely must, although of course you'd prefer if they kept their valuables to themselves!
