[ Sebastian makes another thoughtful noise about the agreement between Liem’s gods, if only to wonder if that’s what was at work in his own world… Gods (and God, singular and much more powerful than the rest) existed in his world, but they were even more separate from the realm of demons than even humans were. Save for the one famous example, they had never interacted, really. So, lightly, he at least adds: ]

Well, I do not know if it offers assurance, exactly, but I could not guess either. The divine and the infernal kept their business quite separate in my world, and I would not be surprised if they had a similar accord in place for humanity. Rather unbeknownst to mankind, unfortunately, but…

[ He shrugs slightly. It’s both better for him if the divine didn’t interfere and not quite the topic at hand. More just an expression of understanding the point. ]

I would at least take Ms. Akua’s opinion with more weight though, yes. I find her shrewd and discerning in many things. [ And probably one of the only Shard-Bearers that Sebastian genuinely respects, but. Don’t worry about that. At least Liem is also included in that category! ] Of course, it is all idle supposition for me… Besides my lack of affinity to Meridian at a base level, I would be quite happy to never return from whence I came, personally.
