[ Again, one of those impertinent questions. Set continues to nurse at his own drink, eyes alight and brilliant from over the rim of the clay cup he imbibes from. It's held so lightly in his fingers, one might mistake it for elegance if not for the tremor in those digits; he's in pain, even in the waters, and fighting every inch of vulnerability that he might show. Slowly, he sets the cup aside, in favor of dipping his aching hands into the water, lowering them to the space between his knees. He moves, bending forward through the water like an arrow being nocked.
Honestly, he may be readying to lunge into Liem's space -- there's nothing about him that suggests stillness, or patience, or peace. This is a man built for motion, action and being suddenly, violently all over the place. ]
You were taught, by -- were they your gods, then? I know the Ennead didn't teach our mortals with the intention of them being dependent on our guidance always. And really, it was such a bore, when they failed to make intelligent choices based on what we'd laid out for them! Hence, why I'm asking you: do you not trust yourself to continue to live by those teachings? Is that what you're saying?
