The injured man tried to answer but simply coughed and hacked up more blood while the man that Kaia pushed back seemed to jump on the question, pointing at the wounded man.
"That man is standing between me and my business. This shop has been in my family since My Dad started it 40 years ago. And I'm not going to let some fucking imposter rob me of my heritage and livelihood!
The whistle was getting louder and some of the people in the crowd were stepping back further, the mummer seemed to be shifting and cycling between excited and worried.

"Imposter, hm...?"
Cain frowns, before heeding Kaia's warning.
He looks up as well, trying to tell what it is!

Kaia's still searching for the whistling, wondering briefly if the reaction from those around meant they knew what was coming.
"So two look-a-likes, but one is the real owner." is what she was getting from this.

They'd see a man? An angel? Swooping down from the sky, touching down his masked gaze sweeping over the scene before his eyes fixed on Cain. "Either kill him or back off God." The disdain on the word God was thick as the newcomer reached into his coat.

"It's probably-"
Well, whatever he was going to say is cut off at the sight of... whatever... this thing is. Cain looks up with his hands on his hips, frowning.
"Who the hell are you?"
He asks, even though he does back up a bit.

Kaia relaxes when the man-bird doesn't immediately attack. She'd leave the man's side, walking over to his suffering doppelgänger as she scanned him with her visor. Once she got a scan of him she'd heal him. She doubted Cain meant to kill him.

Lord Blackwaters Medical Visor (Prototype): +6 Spd + 9 Per This medical visor was made by Lord Blackburn shortly after making a name for himself as a doctor. Kaia can scan an individual and know any health issues they currently have, twice a thread Kaia can heal herself or an ally back to 100% (not including Qi uses)

The newcomer would remove his hand from his coat pocket when Cain stepped back and Kaia healed the man. She would earn an approving nod from the mechanically winged man, before his gaze, and the palpable disapproval returned to Cain.
"Well I'm not a God, or even a Qi user. So I doubt you'd actually care enough to remember a mere mortal such as I."
"You tell him Icarus!"
One of the members of the crowd shouted.
"The Gods just take and take!"
"Hush! Do you want to end up dead!?"
"Praise the Gods! They delivered us from destruction!"
"Look around, this is saved!? They can't even protect themselves let alone us."
The crowd's murmuring was increasing in volume and now the friction seemed to be between the people who still held full faith in the Gods and those that may be feeling that the Gods were more trouble then they were worth. Or had failed them in their time of need.

Cain has no knowledge of any Icarus whatsoever, which just serves the man's point. As a result, Cain's scowl deepens.
Especially when he hears the people's disbelief.
"You actually think the Gods abandoned you? Why do you think any of you are left?"
He snorts dismissively.
"Gods have fought and died to preserve as much as you have right now! For fuck's sake, you would ALL be dead if they weren't here."

Well that explained the constant split in mood over here. She understands the feelings of hopelessness, but, to blame the Gods? Was their faith that weak?
"They need someone to blame." Kaia says, her tone plain though there's the barest hint of judgement.

"None of this happened until that second mountain came. Some God did something to move it here. And brought with it those mutations. Other societies survived and in some cases fared better without Gods."
Icarus said smugly, his eyes fixed on Cain.
"All without their leaders personally attacking their citizens in the street." He'd say with a snort.

"Then they should look at themselves!"
Cain snaps, more angry than he should be, but he's frustrated that Kaia's not as passionate about this as he is.
"Why are you so sure a God brought that second Olympus? You don't think it has anything to do with people being thrown through portals, you fuck?"
He points at Icarus.
"Something else did it. Stop being a shit."

Kaia looks annoyed at him, but, lets him be all up in his emotions. At least one of them still regularly felt them intensely.
She does decide to kinda back up Cain's point.
"Weird things have been happening here since those chains showed up and the planet was attacked. It wasn't any God I knew, if he was one at all. I wouldn't be so quick to blame them."

"Or what? You'll smite me?"
He sounded almost amused. Or maybe like he was daring Cain.
"And I know it was a God that did it."
He'd say, still staring at Cain. His hand sliding to his left coat pocket.

Oh, if he could only smite.
"Prove it."

Kaia's also interested in how he knows that for sure!
