[Obviously participating in any war necessitates some level of risk. Liem knows this. He also recognizes that it makes sense for someone as wily and powerful as Set to shoulder more of the risk himself, to deflect attention from useful allies who may be more vulnerable.
Still—he mislikes it. The prospect of Zenites coming for Set, trying to dissipate him or perhaps even destroy him for good, sends cold prickles of worry down to his stomach. He already has to worry about himself and about Hayame, because of Sebastian. He would prefer if he need not feel the same fear for Set too.]
I know you are clever, Set.
[Hesitation grips him. The space between them can be counted in metres, but it feels impassable. He dare not risk being seen with him right now.]
Even so, I will be obliged to fret until you have returned safely.
[He’ll be doing just that until Set crawls out of his Tree pod and makes it back to Springstar. Jerk. Menace.]
Are you heading for Greenwood Yards? I have business there that I’d rather stay unobserved.
