[ Tezcatlipoca smiles in the way he always does when Silco is expressing thoughts like this. It’s sharp and vicious, almost mean, because he supports Silco’s bitter little heart fully. As he would come to tell him to puzzle over (lol), it’s behavior like this that makes Silco his acolyte. He’s almost a slave to conflict, and all of his sharp vengefulness is practically an offering to Tezcatlipoca. After all, he’s no god of redemption. He may vaguely want Silco to be a better man, but he also deeply believes that it’s something that he has to come to on his own. Another difference between him and Quetzalcoatl. ]
And I’m sure you will. Kinda bummed that I won’t get to see it, since from the sounds of it, your world has no connection to Earth. But, hey. When you’re repayin’ that debt to ‘em, offer up a prayer or a sacrifice to me. Who knows? Maybe I’ll hear it.
[ He chuckles, since even he doesn’t know the answer there. But if nothing else, even if he can’t hear it, he imagines that Silco would take some power for it all the same. The point of ritual isn’t always to have the gods hear you—it’s a fortifying process. ]
But, nah. Haven’t. Haven’t exactly asked, though, since the explanation LILITH gave at least works for me. Couldn’t say the same for most of ya, but the idea of dividing my consciousness is routine. One part of me can be working here, another part in Mictlan, and when the work is done, we’ll merge back with the whole.
[ He puffs out some smoke with a sly smile. ]
Though, this is an area where you and I are the same kinda guy. Kinda appreciate the vacation, don’t get me wrong, since this is a big opportunity for me, but still. Too laid back here. The fact that none of the Outsiders have gotten ripped in half by a kaiju is some dumb luck.
[ He scoffed. ] There was no lack of it in Kenos either, but it was... different. The war was always there. Here, the people want to forget as much as the outsiders do. No true competition except for the Kaiju, and they've done relatively little, like you said.
[ Well, plenty of destruction, but... ]
Perhaps, perhaps there will be a change, now that there's a proper god of conflict, hm? We can't have you getting bored, or anything. [ He doesn't really understand what'd going on back home, especially given that only months ago his world had been gone, and he did not think it was LILITH who had been able to revive them.
It created more questions than solutions, but that was something Silco was used to, being subjected to powers and prominence that he truly did not understand. ] Who knows, if you do, you might just leave us. I can't imagine that LILITH would really be able to stop you if you wanted to.
[ A twitch of a smile, because Silco's as liable as Tezca.
