[ Tezcatlipoca nods in agreement to Set’s words, and at the very least, he only gives the mildest click of his tongue before leaning back to lounge against Set’s soft side. It might not be his true favored animal, but it’s still close enough that he starts to stroke the fur idly, almost like it’s something automatic. Gods are strange creatures, as it seems that Matt questioning them while also tending to them seems to have settled them both down… ]
‘Course it did. Doesn’t matter what it is whether it’s a mortal army or a world-eater. If it feels the need to communicate with what it wants to beat, naturally it’s gonna want you to just give up and die easily. Not sure how Meridian and Zenith play into it or if they even do, but it’s just easier to bite something that isn’t biting back.
[ Tezcatlipoca thinks similarly to Set here, albeit for different reasons. It’s the ones that don’t bother talking to you that are the problem. They are the forces that can’t be stopped, even by a mighty god. Thus, they have no reason to want to talk to their lessers. It’s beyond being pointless—it would be akin to wanting to talk to a microbe for the scale that kind of power exists at. ]
To be honest with ya, I don’t give a fuck about which way the conflict goes. That’s where Set and I are different. He wants to win. It’s my job to make sure it’s fruitful. [ He shrugs ] I don’t pick sides with any special favor. The moment I do, the universe will balance it out.
[ He taps his fingers against Set’s side lightly, like he wants to say something else but is considering those words carefully. He’d much rather complain about the nickname or gossip about Liem, but he just sighs. This is more important, unfortunately. ]
…You don’t have that kind of worry. Not participating means accepting what’s comin’ and not being willing to shape it at all. It’s givin’ up the chance to make an advantage. Since I would have called it somethin' else, but I knew Oblivion was comin' for my world. It's why I placed my bets on a guy that had a chance to stave it off, even if the cost was high. My advice is always going to be action over apathy.
