[ it's really hard to say what implications kaeya intended his words to have, because while he believes that standing by the regent wants is his best shot at bringing back what (who) was lost, he knows full well what kind of being they are. achamoth, after all, can be seen as one big cult, and there are even those amongst the kenoma's ranks who tiptoe that line every so often. it's something that havoc will have to find out for herself because he isn't really going to elaborate much more on that.

with her safely settled on the slab, he moves his hands away, shrugging his shoulders. ]

That's what we were told. The Regent mentioned that we would become gods of this new world, and that we're meant to help guide it so that it doesn't fall apart like it is right now.

[ while he speaks, he does take the time to observe her. the difference in her demeanour now compared to earlier is almost unnerving, but he can't quite put a finger on it why. maybe the kenoma has somehow soothed her anxiety... it can be a comforting presence every now and then, despite it all. ]

If that isn't your thing, that might become a problem later down the line.

[ for her sake, he can only hope she doesn't disagree. ]
