[ It likely said a lot, that Silco had not considered offing Yima -- or that it wasn't his first choice. He was not one to simply accept leadership, but he had not been fully done wrong by Yima, and she had... certainly been upset, by the prospect that Jinx had left. She'd given him gifts, after all, and asked him to make monsters. He doesn't share this with Set, it is not the secrets he keeps that he fears being unleashed.
He does not fret about Set knowing that, if he finds it. It is his, and he does not spread it, but it is not a secret that he closely guards, like his daughter.
Set is true, that he could never love his son like he does his daughter -- Silco does not like anyone like he does his daughter. There is something to be said, for finding your child in the moments after [[something]] betrayed in the aftermath. Something about finding someone just as hurt as you, and taking them in, even though Silco had never thought of himself as the type to be a parent. Unlike Set, he was not married, he had never really -- well. Being betrayed by someone who had been like your brother certainly axes any ability to trust in the future, and Silco had revenge to plot, besides, it had never been a concern.
But... ] I am not asking you to... give up your own goals. Any more than you would ask me to give up mine, or favor your child over mine.
[ No, not that. As much as he knew they would oppose each other, in the end, as much as he knew that they would be foes, when the end came, only one would be the victor. He knew this, and he wanted it to be Zenith. He would do everything in his power to make it so. ]
I am asking, that in the event of... [ The unthinkable. Meridian's victory -- perhaps even Zenith's, if Set faltered, or if Yima found it in her heart to bring the Meridian to this new world as well. He had spent little time thinking about this perfect world they all so desired... ]
A result, in which you live, and I do not. If it is possible...
[ He does not ask Set to raise her. She is free, independent and strong. She is wild and untamed, his daughter. She would likely kill him on the spot for asking this, or at least threaten, and then cease talking to him for weeks on end, until Silco made it up to her. ]
Well. I would ask that you give thought to her, in the case that forces greater than I, or her, could weather. We would need your consideration.
[ His fingers twitch, uncontrolled.
He does not want to think of a Meridian victory, even as a part of him that he loathes -- that this sap wants him to consider -- sings with agreement. He wishes for a Zenith victory, and he has done everything in his capability to amass power, to ensure that when his daughter is unleashed on this new world, she will have a playground to make of it.
But there are no guarantees. Silco needs to strike deals, to ensure the foundation. Set is one among many, he considers, but an important one. ]
