And not to forget, the nobles and clergy who still demand your attention of course. You'd hoped to have a chance to prepare yourself for such a meeting, but then you hadn't planned on staying up late creating your own realm of death in the afterlife and saving abandoned souls. Under normal circumstances, well rested or not, you'd still spring from bed and go about your busy day without trouble or care. But those injuries you suffered from battle yesterday, are really being felt now that your body has had the chance for said injuries to settle in. Not the injuries dealt by mortals of course, even the worst of those you healed yourself of before you even left the field. But the injuries dealt by the semi-divine northman warrior, those are about as real and lasting as a mortal would experience, being dealt the same damage from another mortal.
Of course the warrior was only partly divine while you are a goddess truly so the harm is lessened a little, but these are not injuries you can just heal away; you have to recover from them just as a normal person, a mortal would recover from their injuries. With time and rest and care. Perhaps more so, because you are so unused to suffering harm in this way, and the sort of care you would need is not like any mortal can provide for you.
You're just lucky then, that the warrior only managed to deliver some blunt trauma from his charge into you and the wrestling bout you two went through. You're battered and bruised and sore, swelling and pain inside and out. But he didn't break bones, stab or slash you, cause some type of harm that your body couldn't recover from without medical care.
>Take it easy. Ask Tyne to manage those who seek your attention, for whom you'll see here in your room.
>A goddess needs her beauty rest! See if some excuse can't be come up with as to why you won't be seeing anyone today, so that you can recover in peace... maybe someone to tend to your desires.
>Endure the pain and exhaustion, and put on a strong face. The people need you and you should appear your best if they are to believe you are a goddess... though your visual injuries are bound to be noticed.
>Agree to meet with the nobles and clergy at least, so long as they gracefully deal with the crowds. After all, the town leadership can deal with a mob better than just Tyne or even you yourself.
