[ Though he gets the sense that she knows he's lying, she doesn't press it, which to Silco's mind, is just as good. It isn't that he's hearing something that he wants to conceal, it's what. The weakness implicit is something he would not even offer to an ally, let alone someone he recently killed. He didn't dare give that knowledge up.

Her explanation though... One eye narrowed slightly. For being so tied to Meridian, he had not expected her reason to be "been there, done that," and his head tipped, before: ]

So it's all old news, then? Zenith's promise? Already tried it, and decided it didn't do enough for you, so you may as well settle for what you already had?

[ The words are...as accusatory as ever. Silco was eternally that type of man, but there's a note of... not quite curiosity, but perhaps something akin to it. He does not aim to be swayed, but Quetz has outright promised to take his hand, and was a god besides. He would be foolish to not seek any information he could from her, lest he end up utterly destroyed from his own refusal to learn. He may be targeted in what he learns -- as some, Sebastian, well know -- but that doesn't mean he is incurious. ]

Honestly, I would have thought a "sun god" would be focused on revival no matter the circumstances.
