You'll not find one more cagey and slippery. Just because Absinthe is dear to me does not mean I do not realize that he can be difficult at times. But as I said make your judgement based on him, not what he pretends to be.

[He pauses for a moment.]

Can you wait here?

[He really won't wait for an answer as he goes back to his room and gets him a copy of some notes with any mentions of himself, Lahabrea or Absinthe etched out.]

This is your enemy, and it would be best if you studied it. It will darken your skies, infect your people, and cause unknown suffering for all who come into contact with it. It's source is unknown but there are those who would use it as a weapon to further there own goals.

Your bloodline is important, the line of Lucis. I do recall a certain ring that is passed down, but of that I do not know all the details. And the Gods meddle in your affairs.

Does that help give your wandering mind some focus?

So it's all an act for him?

[He could agree though. Absinthe seemed to move with his own agenda, whether it was pretending not to know him in order to test him or being upfront that they didn't have a great relationship. It was still complicated.

He shelves it for now, looking at the notes he's been handed.]

I know about the ring. [Whether or not Alexander knew about the crystal was another matter. He didn't want to give too much away, still worried about it getting back to Absinthe or Luna.]

I didn't realize Gods could become corrupted by it too.

[Is that why Luna told him not to follow the prophecy?]

Has either of them mentioned a prophecy to you?

No. As I said, keep an open mind.

[He shrugs.]

Gods is a rather relative term, but they are no doubt immortal beings of immense power.

The prophecy...? If it is from one of your Gods then it is nothing more than a means to push you towards the path they desire.

Yes. From what I understand of it, it comes from them. So does the roles of Chosen King and Oracle.

[Still, he's a little worried. Luna told him not to follow the prophecy and now he's hearing similar sentiment from someone else.]

It is. Has he told you anything about it, or no?

No. But I have heard enough from Glacies. I would ignore it, and find your own path. Or at least do not take it as an absolute.
