I would expect nothing less from one of the only people [ other than set, who continues to enhance his utility so as to keep the eye of both leaders, ] who actually utilizes himself as a piece upon the field, instead of blindly allowing others to use you for themselves.
[ The tone is scathing, but that sentiment is aimed beyond the two of them. It seeks others, who simply sign on to a faction hinging upon their hopes and desires, rather than practicality or how useful the faction would be. What he looks at this young creature and sees is someone deeply pragmatic, and despite Set's cavorting and carousing, the chaos he embodies is only one aspect of his person — he may not be insightful, nor able to read an individual well, but he is not an idiot. And he is deeply, undeniably pragmatic. ]
And I understand your apprehension, in potentially accepting anything from me.
[ More than Makoto knows, actually. And in a way Set actually will not give away. Not for free, perhaps not even for all the power in the world. ( Fuck you, Osiris. ) The advice that comes from Makoto is received twofold; the brief burn of his tempestuous personality, at being given something that feels patronizing — and more strongly, the acceptance of it. The acquiescence to someone who clearly is experienced in the matter, and whom he knows he would be remiss to refuse the wisdom of. Set is always, always more likely to heed non-humans ( former humans, even ). ]
That is correct. The Lady offers Shards. An individual, a place, a power and this is alluring to many who enjoy instant gratification.
[ The words are sharp, but he is not speaking unkindly of these things. In fact, he is as deeply invested in that 'immediate gratification' as he is in prolonged satisfaction; the two are not mutually exclusive to him, after all! ] Meridian offers an item that tethers one's world to their soul, and many other things. They are known by all to be knowledgeable of time and space, and I find them far more wicked than popular opinion would suggest. Zenith is full of good hearts, seeking better things for themselves and their loved ones in the wake of their perceived losses. Meridian is for the bitter and the bastards, who will fuck over everyone else to get what's already theirs.
[ just as makoto aims for j, his destined sun, meridian aims for their territory, their people. selfish and mean, he finds meridians. ]
