[something stills, then, in his chest, that flaring need to puff up and stand up and defend. at least she understands the complexity of it, the way not even the world that worshipped set can truly agree on his aspects. what hope do individuals, living and working and existing alongside him, really have?]

He did, yes. Complex is a very good word to use to describe him. [PIVOTING:] Have you read much of deities, then, Ms. Mithra?
My world is quite different in that matter, so I've dabbled a bit in research.

The Entities. Do you mean the Balfours and Giles? Or the more unseen residents, such as the Library? Or both?

[transfuse]

In a sense. Religious studies were part of my educational curriculum.

And I do mean the Library, and the Watcher. As well as the Mesial and the Sibling. At this time, I consider them a class unto themselves. Our hosts, the Balfours... sometimes I wonder if they are guardians themselves. Ones who have tired of their roles, and we are here to determine who among us might replace them. Or break their hold on reality.

[ A pause. ]

Apologies. Disregard that as idle fancy. I wear the mantle of an author, and such a nature oft clashes with my duties as a researcher.

[kobes]

Oh, I see.
At a university, perhaps? It's my understanding that's a topic of study, there.
I never attended formal education myself, so I'm not familiar.

No, no, that's an ingenious theory, Mithra! [he's eager enough that he forgets the polite title, wow.] The situation is complex and unpredictable enough that even the most passing theory must be noted and investigated!

[this is the house where he turns into a seal, please, in comparison her theory's hardly out-there.]
