'Absolutely. As far as anyone knows, we just oppose Shar.'

[Anastasia]

"Then go with my blessings. Should you need a safe place to discuss these matters, you can come here any time," Io instructs. "You are welcome."

[Yuthirin]

'You have our thanks. We'll undoubtedly be back. Can I open a gate directly here?'

[Anastasia]

"To just outside the gate that leads here," Io says.

[Yuthirin]

'Mugh obliged. Latha? I do believe I owe you an explanation before we go.'

[Anastasia]

"Go on," Latha invites you, "Speak freely - we may disagree but I hold no umbrage about it. I only ask that you be respectful with your disagreement."

[Yuthirin]

'My issue is not with who they chose, it is the lack of consideration of others with which they did so. Now, in order to achieve goals, I am instead forced to eather make a horrifyingly dangerous decision in going to the Far Realm and possibly eradicating myself in the process, or a stupidly dangerous decision by approaching in approaching Asmodeus for access to his maybe-existent divine seed.' Tryll says, 'They made their decisions to empower their own, even after being specifically told there were two other nodes they had yet to encounter. The need was implied. There was not a moment's desitation in consideration. That is my issue.'

[Anastasia]

"They made a choice to elevate two worthy, compassionate and heroic people to the divine," Latha says, "Two people unlikely to be able to become One, held back by Ao's risk of rejection. They chose what they know and trusted to become divine - and no disrespect, but we do not know each other as well as Alicia knows her sister or Seira knows Kascha. Not yet."

A moment's pause.

"But - if there is one divine seed, we may yet find another. And should we not, we will help you in your quest to become One, if you wish to pursue that." Latha goes on, "If I can aid you in this, I will. So will Antenora, Jessica, Alicia...and even Syala, her disapproval over what happened to Ebony aside."

[Yuthirin]

'What's done is done. My irritation aside, there's no way to undo it. I'm don't believe I would undo it. Consideration is all I wanted. That's all. And thank you. I'm going to need as much help as I can get on this. Who knows, maybe Zaph-'

"ZAPPY BOY!"

'-kiel has another seed or something.'

[Anastasia]

"I would not be surprised if he does," Latha concurs. "Come to us and contact us if you need aid. We're in this together."

[Yuthirin]

'Thank you, Latha. I appreciate the aid.'

[Anastasia]

Okay, what's your next move here?

[Yuthirin]

Back to Miranda's and divining the last heart ruby.

[Anastasia]

Anything else with Latha? She's going to take her leave of you after that to report back, understanding you can contact her or Sylica through your own power if needed.

If not we'll head on back for that.

[Yuthirin]

That's fine. I can't think of anything else I'll need her for at this moment.
