I got that much. [Though his own frown had deepened for a moment at the mention of undeniable facts. Both versions still sounded equally plausible to him.]

What are you going to do about that difference?

[nibelungvalesti]

Bemoan it. [Was that a joke? With her, who can tell? (Though the answer is likely 'no'.)] I do not believe the gods here are taking suggestions regarding reorganization of their system.

[shiitan]

You don’t believe so, huh... [There were a lot of things he could say about that, but he held his tongue. Even if he said something, he had at least a gut feeling on how she would take it, though whether that gut feeling was accurate or not was another thing entirely.]

But what about knowing? [Okay, he was mostly holding his tongue.]

[nibelungvalesti]

The certain way is to ask. Yet from the attitude of the gods here, I suspect they would regard the question as either arrogant, stupid, or both. It is my estimation that gaining confirmation would likely result in greater mutual acrimony. I judge that a poor gain at best.

[Well, he asked.]

[shiitan]

Huh. [He did indeed, though he saw those consequences from a different point of view. Very different, even.]

Then maybe I'll ask and see what they say.

[...Uh.]

[nibelungvalesti]

If you so desire. What do you seek to accomplish?

[Given that his desire seems to have come specifically from her saying it would cause more harm than good, she's quite curious.]

[shiitan]

Nothing much. [He suspected he wouldn't be the first person to try asking the gods for answers. Certainly not the last, either.]

Either I'll get the answers I'm asking about, or I'll make that acrimony mutual instead of just one-sided.

[nibelungvalesti]

If you have nothing to lose, then you have everything to gain. [She can agree with that logic, though she does not think he has nothing to lose. But neither does she think her arguments will fall on open ears.]

[shiitan]

[She would be entirely right on that one. His stubbornness was...a problem.]

It's something like that.

[nibelungvalesti]

Then I wish you luck and whichsoever result you desire, though I hope nothing comes to any others by your choice.

[As always, she says this so matter-of-factly.]
