That many?! [Whoa! And he assumed all this time they were some elusive, mysterious beings - intentionally being elusive to be annoying, of course. He frowns, poking at a piece of pancake.]
Are they supposed to be like gods? It's hard to tell how much influence we're supposed to believe they have around here.
Well I know they don't like being seen as gods. They're just connected to the world and how it works; they're there to make sure everything's balanced!
[ blah blah yadda yadda, basic info. He's got no more pancakes to give to the porrings than his last one, and he's keeping that, the gelatinous creatures opting to stay in his company regardless of no food (the one still giving squinty eyes at wolfram). ]
Most of what happens here has to do with us before them these days. [ But, hmm. ] What do you think they can do? What's a god to you?
Can I talk to one? [Wolfram grips his fork. That's perfect! Surely they would have information that's actually useful, unlike the so-called Welcome Center here. Still bitter about that, yes.]
I'm sure I can do it. What ritual is required to summon one? Are any sacrifices needed?
...No? You can just use the amulet and mind talk to them. [ Like a normal person, please don't conduct a sacrificial ritual. ] Do you care about who it is? Peromei's usually inside her tree--she'd be the easiest to meet to talk to.
Oh. [That's boring, but probably for the best. Wolfram's finished his pancakes by now and is working on scooping up the remaining globs of jam from his plate. Nothing left for the porrings, alas.
He barely knows the names of all of them, but if he had to choose...] I would pick Elios.
[ Eating jam all by itself? Egh. Red will wait to take his plate once he's done so to put them near the kitchen sink, no rush to actually clean up this stuff. ]
Elios? He's... yeah, he's easy to talk to! I haven't seen him around the city a lot lately, but you can always try to reach him by calling out. You just need to think about wanting to speak to him, and he'll answer!
Why Elios though? [ ... ] Is it because he's made out of fire?
No. [That's just a funny coincidence, honestly. Wolfram grips his perfectly-cleaned fork in a tight fist. The kitchen may naturally feel like the warmest room in the house, but it's definitely getting even warmer.]
What else? That Elios is supposed to be a symbol of love, isn't it?
[Thankfully it's a pleasing kind of warmth, if a bit close to stuffy summer-heat temperature. If Wolfram's mood was the opposite, his fork would probably melt in his hand.]
It may not be a god, but it has to be good for something. Such as good luck to one's romantic life...
What? Why would he do that? [Perhaps Elios likes to keep up with the local romance gossip...? Wolfram looks behind his shoulders.] Are they always watching?
wolfram please-- ] He's not in the room with us. [ heh ] He just really likes romance, and seeing people in love. That kind of thing. He doesn't do anything to anyone.

[Meanwhile, Wolfram's country had a literal 4,000 year-old king spirit telling them what to do. But that's totally different, somehow.]
I just assumed these Arehtei had a lot more about them.

I don't know much about gods, so I don't know what's normal for gods to do! Have you thought about talking to one?

Well! It's still impolite to watch unsuspecting people. [The exception, of course, is when it involves flirtatious fiances.]
