[As ever, Set overflows with passion, with enthusiasm as he speaks of the cultures and interests that have captured his attention. Liem is charmed despite himself; even though the sect that has now subsumed him into itself would make dreams such as these impossible, he cannot help but be endeared for a brief moment by the joy that the war god seems to have for the simple act of discovery. His dream is an enchanting one, and like the other man, Liem too used to hold this fascination close to his heart, before he was obliged to give up on such things for reasons beyond his own power to change.
His world cannot overlap with any others, anymore. How could it, when all of their worlds have been doomed to oblivion?
The abruptness with which Set abandons his train of thought is almost startling. Somehow, Liem had not imagined that there would be more in store for them after the conclusion of the performance; he had not considered the possibility of a "remainder of the evening." Still, he does manage to summon a small, wry smile for the other man when asked. He is, after all, ever eager to accommodate, even in circumstances such as this.]
I did not realize you had yet more planned for me.
[It is enough to make him feel a little flustered, on-edge with nerves he tries to tamp down while Set's hands still grasp his own and Set's eyes are still on his face. He is not used to effort from others — not when it comes to him. Who would bother, when he has never demanded such a thing in order to provide his service, his companionship, even his loyalty? It is unnecessary, a complication that he doesn't understand being introduced just for his benefit.]
