He listened to her rant. So, she thought she knew Ares did she? Well, if Ares was ever pulled here, he had no doubt she'd find out the truth. She would eventually see the lies that his brother had used to twist her to his will, to make her faith in him all but absolute. He shook his head though as she accused him of hating the gods. "I don't hate the gods. Not all of them. I merely hate how they meddle in the affairs of mortals for their own whims and gains. There's only ever been one goddess I've ever hated. And that was my stepmother for slaughtering my family in front of me. Just because she was petty and jealous that Zeus bedded my mother and I was the result." He kept his eyes trained on her, watching her for any sudden movements.
"As much as I dislike the gods Livia, they are my family. At least the Greek pantheon is. And yes. I would rather have saved my brother who wouldn't mind seeing me dead than let him die. And it's a good thing I had saved his life. Or the time you come from wouldn't have come to pass. Dahak needed Ares dead to gain enough power to break free before my friend Iolaus and I were able to stop him. The gods fled and hid from Dahak Livia. Very few people stayed to fight him."
He stared down at her calmly, no trace of anger on his face at all. "Then I think you should find a better man to seduce you Livia. Ares only cares for himself and power. But that is just what I've seen from years of having to deal with him. When it comes to my brother, we will have to just agree to disagree. And I never meant to insult you. But I'm not going to pander to your ego either. I merely spoke the truth on what I saw in my first impression of you. I'm sorry if that offended you."
To prove that he meant no threat to her, he moved to the chair and sat down, gesturing to a spot for the Roman to sit if she wished. "Truly, I am sorry if my words offended you. Perhaps I should have chosen better words. Regardless, there's a threat in this time and place that we all need to focus on. And for that, we should set aside our differences and focus on settling in here and fighting this Lucifer. Agreed?"
