Meilyr was taken aback.
He's... sincere? Is this really one of the Sethian Ennead's leaders? No, I mustn't take what he says at face value.
He eyed the hulking Chief Syndic amidst the brief silence, analyzing the abrupt request from every possible angle.
It doesn't seem like he wants to exploit my status as a Celestial Offering, regardless of the weight it currently holds. Sethians aren't that zealous about Sacrificial Ceremonies, and their object of worship is primarily their Hallowed Sovereign, the God of Guile and Conquest, Yaldabaoth. Unlike the other nations, they don't put much emphasis on their deity's link with the Gods Beyond.
