Hm. That is more than I expected, too. My experience with gods is that they don't much care for the wants and needs of the people. [ but he won't complain that much. ]
Gabriel and I had a conversation about asking this god for the ability to see people again after all of this. Gabriel seemed insistent that the god owes us that much.
My experience with gods is slightly different, though not dissimilar in the outcome. [how to put this.] They have a great amount of power, but they also have limitations on the extent to which they can interfere in mortal lives. Thus, to some extent they rely deeply on their chosen followers and champions, though acknowledging this balance of power is something that they don't tend to appreciate.
For better or worse, Lady Shar took a very direct interest in my life.
While I don't expect a God to truly understand the way mortals feel, I suspect this deity, for whatever reason, needs us. Perhaps it as simple as, there is some amount of power or influence riding on the outcome of this experiment, or perhaps it is more complex.

That gives us some bargaining room, at the very least. Not unwelcome.
