Damien had thought it might be a good idea for Zima to learn alongside him, but Elyon quickly put a stop to the suggestion.
"Someone like him, who can understand and convey our intentions but cannot propagate them himself, is a remarkably rare existence," Elyon explained.
"...Uh, what does that mean exactly?" Damien asked, confused. The idea of someone being able to understand and share information but not spread it didn't quite make sense to him, nor could he grasp why it was so valuable.
While Zima gave a faint, knowing smile, it was clear he understood Elyon's reasoning perfectly. Damien, however, was left looking puzzled, prompting Elyon to elaborate further.
"For example, let's say this one was to uncover one of your secrets. However, as you know, he cannot speak, nor can he write. So, he would be unable to reveal that secret to anyone."
"Ah, I see," Damien nodded. That actually made a lot of sense.
