When we first met, you told me. But you are important to Ptou, and that is why.

[librorian]

We are kin.

[hyanaimne]

Yes. Why did he go after you, dear?

[librorian]

Because I mentioned that I was formerly a god. He thought he could reawaken some of my divine abilities.

[hyanaimne]

. . . are you not formerly one of his gods?

[librorian]

Of course I was. Not one he devoted himself to specifically, but...

[hyanaimne]

It does not matter whether he devoted himself to you or not. [huffs] That bloody pathetic excuse for a human . . .

[librorian]

Pathetic to have fallen prey to him.

[hyanaimne]

Dear, how long have you been human?

[librorian]

Twenty-four days.

[hyanaimne]

Have you ever been preyed on before, as a god?

[librorian]

...

Bullied, in a way...

[hyanaimne]

. . . not the same, my dear.

But that is my point. You are still getting used to being human, yes? And people will take advantage of that, such as our dear pathetic Cain. Emotions are easy to manipulate, and words are easy to twist.

[librorian]

[brightens a little]

Then I was right? Red wasn't involved in hurting him?

[hyanaimne]

. . . I could not quite see who was in the room, dear.

[librorian]

...

Do you know one way or the other?

[hyanaimne]

. . .

I believe he was.

[librorian]

[goddammit]

[hyanaimne]

. . . you do not approve.

[librorian]

Of course not. I am no stranger to violence or vengeance, but - to do such a thing in my name is -

[hyanaimne]

Human.

[librorian]

Abhorrent.

[hyanaimne]

To some, perhaps.

[librorian]

To the Lorefather.

There is a difference, my dear, between doing something in someone's name, and doing it for someone.
