[ Briefly, Set's expression sharpens. The baring of his teeth becomes less an indulgent sneer and more a threat, narrowed in upon Matt's words. The insinuation of them — as if a mortal can claim to care anything about a man like Cyrus, and choose the same side that caused his demise. A god could, but humans are so simple and incapable of that nuance. Plus, it enrages him in a deep way.
He'd liked Cyrus, a lot. Thinking about him, his warmth and generosity, and Set's position being ( essentially ) due to Cyrus Kokkinos's advocating on his behalf, fighting to restore him to full godhood is... well, it's such a waste that the man will never see any results of his work, now. He'll never forgive Zenith for their hand in that, even if they didn't know what would happen. ]
I saw the thing earlier, before the Oracle. One of Meridian's own tried to reincarnate him anew, and we found his soul had been consumed. We figured Zenith knew what they were doing, since Oblivion paves the way for their delusions so neatly.
[ His arched tone is accusatory and brightly combative, even as he drapes across Tezcatlipoca's spine until the moment that he gets an elbow to the arch of his cheekbone. He yelps like a dog that's been kicked, shoving the jaguar god forward towards Matt in retaliation. It effectively takes away all of Set's posturing, leaving him sighing and gesturing about the whole thing. A shrug. ]
Oh? You mean you did not vote for either option and instead abstained? Tezcatlipoca was telling me all about what the Advocate was asking. What a shitty little Oracle you all had to deal with. "Ooh, understand the value in a world" and "oh, poor little things, don't they deserve a chance" and "aw, isn't it so sad they're either fake or dying".
[ Voting is participating, Matt!! Set arches a brow as he steps back towards the bier upon which all his offerings are, prepared to drag the blond god with him. ]
Blech, glad I skipped having to think of this one. [ He does perk up at the mention of Liem, at least. 8) Liem makes him happy. ]
