"Aye, Meridian. I joined so quickly in part to have my magicks back, I confess." What he doesn't mention is how he'd only joined with Meridian specifically to give both him and Emet-Selch an insider's point of view on both factions. Which one would be a better fit for them? Hythlodaeus honestly probably would have gone with Zenith since he doesn't really believe that their world can be saved, and as long as Emet-Selch is here he doesn't mind making a go of it in a new world. But perhaps Meridian will win him over, who knows?

He chuckles at the added comment. "I suppose I do. And you, you've joined Zenith I take it?" He drinks slowly too, though he also knows that this one drink won't even get him tipsy.
