Not that he'll press, if Kaeya still deigns to follow his lead. Greenwood Yards matters to Set, after all. Even if he must deal with the Veil Shroud and its effects, perhaps if he keeps his mouth shut and head down, he and Kaeya can escape without anything damaging coming out.
Perhaps that is why he hefts a stack of large crates onto his shoulder, the juvenile plants wiggling within the confines of their temporary pots. They'll need to be removed from the pots, their roots cleaned of the old dirt, and then replanted and given a burst of spellwork for their health. ]
