It is precisely because you are equal in need, that you have the right to call out.
[ And it is within a god's ability, and power, to spread themselves across all voices raised to them and touch the lives of each and every one. Is this what Nephthys meant, when she said that a god was not meant to rule? That their power was not for absolute dominance, but to support, to uplift. He thought he'd known it once — who he was, what he was meant for, the authority he had received by virtue of his birth and ascension. Had he not been perfect of form and mind?
As Liem emerges, the faintest of sounds escapes Set. A little sigh, not of displeasure or pity, but — of what? Acknowledgement, maybe. He has fed this man himself for weeks, and listened to his tales and queries with the mindfulness of a companion, moreso than a god who looms large and unattainable. Set is a god, and he walks there among the people of Kenos. He crosses to Liem without hesitation, and halts within reach of him. To rake his eyes over the fatigue in his face, his weaknesses. ]

I do not take friendship lightly. I do not really take on friends at all, so I want to do right by you.
