[Alright this is definitely not Hythlodaeus. Then... who is this?]

i may hv mistaken you for someone else
who is this?

[starshepard]

oh
its azem

who did you think this was?

[lightduties]

[Oh.

Oh.

Shite. Well, he can't say Hythlodaeus either. His brain flounders, so his fingers type the first the first H name he can think of.]

haurchefant

[He winces, but there's no way Azem would be able to meet the man himself.]

[starshepard]

[ Never say never. After all, Azem shouldn't be here. ]

oh i see

so what do you say to a visit?

[lightduties]

[Damn it. He doesn't have a good answer ready for Azem, not without revealing the secrets Emet-Selch wishes to keep from them.]

thats not possible

[Because... because... Rhea'li scrunches his face as he tries to will appropriate words onto the screen.]

someone else asked first

[Yeah. Totally.]

bt you hv already seen it aye?

[starshepard]

[ They start to ask why but he's quick to preemptively answer. ]

i have seen a tiny sliver of your world
that's not nearly enough

but perhaps another time

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li makes a face. Will he have to find new excuses every time Azem asks?]

sry

[Maybe he should try and nip this in the bud?]

you saw the disaster that struck the land
im afraid things only became worse

[starshepard]

no need to apologize

truly?
im sorry to hear that

[lightduties]

[The lie has him grimacing, for despite its flaws he truly does love the Etheirys of his time despite having seen the paradise-like past.]

its alright

[A pause]

our time together here is not bad :)

[starshepard]

yes our time here has been enjoyable <(￣︶￣)>

though since it seems someone is visiting your world
would like to visit mine
should the opportunity arise that is

[lightduties]

[Squints... what are those symbols supposed to mean...

But Azem's next words... He frowns. It's the same problem. He can't go to the Etheirys of Azem's time either, but he can't tell them that.]

actually emet-selch has already shown me

[starshepard]

[ They're something cute Azem picked up. They've been dying to use them. ]

oh i see
he didn't seem pleased with the news of being able to visit home
so I'm surprised

[lightduties]

[That doesn't surprise him; how would Emet-Selch enjoy such a thing, knowing the fate in store for Etheirys?]

is he ever pleased

[starshepard]

perhaps youve never seen him pleased

[lightduties]

mayhap not aye
i think he reserves that for his friends

[starshepard]

aye i suppose so
though i hope that one day he may view you as a friend

[lightduties]

haha mayhap that is in our future

[He would like that, in truth. The time together in the Western Paradise... it was not bad.]

[starshepard]

im sure it is
he just takes a bit of time to warm up to new people
trust me

[lightduties]

he does strike me as the sort who would resist being won over
but would be a freidn for life

[and after, it seems]

how did you two meet

[starshepard]

through hythlodaeus
i met him first when we were in academia
we hit it off from the start and he then introduced me to hades
they two have known each other since they were children

[lightduties]

school friends

[Imagine, if you will, exclamation marks at the end.]

that must mean both of you have tales he would be embarrassed to hear retold

[starshepard]

i suppose we would (¬‿¬ )
thouhg hyth would undoubtedly have more

[lightduties]

he does seem the sort to collect such tales
azem and emet selch are titles right
is it custom to use them even outside your work

[starshepard]

they are titles yes
it is
to take up a seat on the convocation is essentially giving up the life we once had
we dedicate ourselves fully to our duties to the star that way
though it doesnt mean those closest to us wont continue to use our old names

why do you ask?

[lightduties]

[Rhea'li pauses, thinking of his own complicated relationship with his numerous titles, and his complicated relationship with the Convocation.]

i wanted to understand why you both use your titles when such things mean little to those not of your star

[It's not the entire reason, though.]
