[ Sebastian makes a light noise of affirmation, and he does watch Liem flip through it curiously. It’s purely academic, since encountering any new religious text has always interested Sebastian personally, so he wonders how it is for others. ]
How interesting… Why, I imagine we could have a stirring conversation about the mere structure of theology between our worlds, but I would not keep you for hours, Father.
[ He laughs, but. There’s part of him that’s totally serious… He would have that conversation, since the idea that a mortal would become divine is a little bit novel. Saints could arguably be such, but that was very arguably, he’d say. Tossing in the “Father” was being playful, though, for sure. ]
Ah, yes, precisely so. [ It’s a bit funny to now need to explain these sorts of things again when he had kept his capabilities so secret from Meri before, but he does so without hesitation. ] My memory does not falter, so I can create more or less whatever I wish so long as I understand it. Books are easiest, since that is just a matter of recalling text on the page, and so long as I have seen it once, I will not forget it.
[ He nods to the book lightly, and his tone is very humbly matter-of-fact. Clearly, this isn’t something particularly special for him to be able to do, but that’s almost absurd. ]
Translation takes a bit more consideration, but not too much. At worst, artful language could be lost, since that does take a bit more creativity than I have, but I do my best to convey the meaning, if not the art.
