He stood with his arms at his sides, eyes tracking Will as he paced back and forth. He still reminded Nataku a lot of Kenren, one of the few people who never failed to get angry on his behalf. He hoped he wouldn't have to punch Will too. It wouldn't do him any good getting all worked up again after last night.
Still, it was clear that he wasn't going to lose interest, so Nataku stayed where he was, fingers curling slightly at his sides, but otherwise still. "You understand what gods are, basically? They're forbidden to sin, to kill or so much as eat another living creature because its corruption.
"But I'm only part god. Heresy, because my blood is tainted. I was born from the sin of a god who chose to mix his blood with that of youkai. Demons," He clarified. "Among other things."
Though his tone remained neutral, his hands were closed into fists at his sides, his shoulders set with tension as if he expected Will to change his mind and dash off or accuse him at any moment. He had no intention of hiding what he was, but he wasn't eager to explain unless he was asked, and so Will was the first person outside of Homura and Kenren who he'd mentioned anything to at all.
"When the gods needed a War Prince to kill where they couldn't subdue, I was presented. I was allowed to exist so long as I remained obedient. I was created by my father like the failed Natakus before me specifically for that purpose."
