This whole goddess thing again? Really? He turns around and crosses his arms.
"You're not the first woman I've met here who claimed to be a goddess." Yes, woman -- to Samuel, Viridi looks like an adult, not a child. A small, bratty adult perhaps, but an adult all the same. Even the most traumatized children have a certain air of... innocence, for lack of a better word, about them that she doesn't have, and the way she's treated him so far only confirms it to him. "And just as before, I have no reason to believe you." Only her word, which based on their interactions so far, he's not going to take as proof.
It's not just his profession as a scientist that makes him skeptical -- in his world, the closest thing they have to deities are Legendary Pokemon. Very few of them are even humanoid, much less actually look like humans, so why would a deity, especially a deity of nature, look like a human?
((I forget what curses do -- I think they just cause bad luck for a while, right? If so, that's fine with me! It'll give me something to post about in late February/early March. I may have even thought of a few prompts already....))
