[Liem is not at all surprised to hear Sebastian’s judgement of his previous masters’ characters. Yes, he thinks: Someone who whose despair was so great that they would call forth a demon, or whose greed was so great that they would sacrifice another person’s life to do so, wouldn’t seem like the sort of person who would be willing to let go of what they once had.]
In Horos, I was ready to consign the Creation I hailed from to oblivion if it meant creating something better in its place.
[This was not a decision he had come to lightly, but the longer he’d spent with the Kenoma, the more it seemed like the only one that made any sense. At the time, with the information he had, any other option had seemed not just naive, but hopelessly selfish.]
But I’ve only become less certain about what the truth is since I was brought here. If I had more faith in Lady Yima, or more certainty that our past worlds could not truly be brought back, I would follow her without qualms.
I do not have that kind of faith, though. And I think, if I must choose without the benefit information either way, it would be disloyal of me as both a Taldan and as a priest to turn my back on my god and my country.
