@Enkidu
Master, trusting Ishtar is your choice, but I recommend extreme caution in dealing with such a wild, capricious goddess as her.
[k]
@Enkidu
She may say that all she does is for humans, but her entire thought process is fundamentally different to begin with. What's worse, she is unaware of this.
[k]
[charaFace A 1]
@Enkidu
Just think of her as one of those bizarre sorts who turn up at the change of seasons...someone with delusions of managing the world.

Shut up. If you insist on keeping this up, you won't have any justification. But still, if you're going to keep going, I'm ready for you.

No, I have no intention of continuing.[sr]And I apologize for my many indiscretions.

This apology is not for Ishtar, but for the poor human whom she has merged with. I should respect that girl at least, whoever she is and wherever she may be from.
[k]
@Enkidu
She may be somewhat like Ishtar, but the fact remains that she has managed to mellow Ishtar out somewhat, which can only mean she has a most virtuous soul.
[k]
@Enkidu
Or maybe strong-willed is a better word for it.[sr]The goddess has retained a tendency to rush into things without considering the consequences.
