That does explain quite a few things. His eagerness to put trackers in us being one.

Precisely. So if he does seem overbearing not all is his own making.

But do give him a hard time of it regardless.

Oh, I fully intend to. It is not as though he is going easy on me either.

As nosy as he is, better this than what he was before.

Indeed, all complaints aside this is still preferable.

[If he's wearing his mask, Emet will reach up to touch the edges of it asking for permission.]

[nods, permission granted]

[He slips it off holding it carefully in his hands. For a moment it seems he's going to ask a personal question, but he doesn't.]

Any flaws in our path forward, o' Emissary?

No glaring ones, at the very least. We have less control over events than I would like, but it could be far worse.

At least we could impress you that much.

Were you worried I would be disappointed?

If I had nothing to show by the time both of you arrived, I would have been disappointed in myself.

[pauses for a moment, considers being an asshole but elects not to]

You managed to find not only a new way to save our world, but love and happiness as well. I would say you have far exceeded any expectations we might have had.

I would have taken the first, but I wonder about the second. You seem to be overly kind.

You doubt my sincerity?

I believe you to dance around the subject much like Lahabrea to spare my feelings.

I would have you know I am genuinely very happy for you and wish your union nothing but peace and prosperity.

That I do not doubt, but I believe you still have worries.

Of course I do. And I am exceedingly jealous.

And how do I help with this jealousy?

...This is already helping.

[He gives him his mask back.]

Even though this is the far future, once we restore our brethren I plan to retire. Lahabrea is is well. If you choose to as well, I would like you to join us.

[turns the mask in his hands]

I wonder if I could. Who would I be, if not Elidibus?

Elidibus' mentor.

You know, Lahabrea thought I wouldn't want to stay with him after. Absolutely preposterous. The same goes for you.

You make it sound so very simple and easy.
