Like a parent who's truly worthy of the title, they'll approach you as something close to an equal - a junior partner, you might say, inferior only in power and experience - because, again like a worthy parent, they want you to BECOME their equal in time.

A deity truly worth following won't demand that you bow nor kneel before them; in fact, many of them will PREFER that you not.
@VitaeSymphoniae The fox takes a long sip before responding, not shy about admiring her own handiwork. "... Having been a mortal originally must give you an interesting perspective on timelessness. While our lives have most of the same aspects, many of them take on different characters..."
@AkiTheFox9 Soon there's a knock at the door, accompanied by a bit of cheerful humming.
[Forgive the delay; things have been depressingly busy of late.]
Siiiiigh.
Many would read the vixen's expression as "bored", and for many foxen, they'd be right. The First Fox is slightly different, though; she's rarely bored.
She misses spending time with the younger foxen. Simply being an elder, keeping them company.
@AkiTheFox9 A familiar face appears moving past a window, probably headed for the front door. She doesn't appear interested in disguising herself at the moment, ten tails waving hopefully behind her.
@PerfectWifeTama [Hmm~ Going to write two variations of a reply to that, since we're not sure whether that's fully literal or if she was /part of/ Amaterasu.]
@PerfectWifeTama Inari reaches to pet Tamamo's ears. "These show that you're part of my family, silly~ And would /you/ take someone in like that without getting to know them first?"
@PerfectWifeTama Her smile as she approaches is likewise as warm as ever, though tinged with sadness; the reason becomes clear as she stops before the younger fox, barely holding herself back from... well, it's hard to tell /exactly/ what it is she wants to do. "I've missed you."
@PerfectWifeTama She laughs softly, opening the door and poking her head in. "It's YOUR home, dear; I'm not going to come in uninvited for any longer than it takes to let you know I'm here~🎵"
@PerfectWifeTama A bit of a wait doesn't bother her - patience has never been in short supply, and it's always best to let people choose their own time to act.
She hums a little as she sits and leans against the wall; apparently her infectious high spirits still haven't failed her.
...I just saw a naughty picture involving Tamamo-chan and Ahri.
How those two would meet, I have no idea, but I definitely think they'd have fun together~🎵
Actually, lies; I have an idea. It's not something I'd want to do every day though.
A closed fan inexplicably hurtles at @KitsunesCurse, seemingly thrown as if intended for her to catch.
Inexplicably to most people, that is; for Tamamo, the explanation shouldn't be hard to figure out, though it's been quite a long time since the two have seen each-other.
