[ A part of Dimitri isn't sure he should feel overawed. This is a strange god - wicked by his own admission, but - Dimitri understands the way one thinks of oneself and that has nothing to do with how one can be. Or should be. Or wants to be. So he breathes in long and slow and accepts this... blessing.
Whatever it is. ]
...I thank you, Set. And I hope we will continue to be good to one another for a long time yet.
[ He is dazzling. And Dimitri is warmth and kindness in his own way; a smaller light against the beacon of Set, but still shining bright after all this time.]

[ He is dazzling. And Dimitri is warmth and kindness in his own way; a smaller light against the beacon of Set, but still shining bright after all this time.]
[ Good to one another, Dimitri says, as a soft scoff leaves Set's chest.
He remains large, clutching the pale star of Dimitri's existence in the palm of his hand, but does not throw him aside at those painfully human words from him. He thinks of association with him as a good thing, that they are 'being good' to one another, instead of carving a furrow into Kenos through which Set's power will flow and ignite.
Eventually, and with what seems like a great, alien thoughtfulness, he becomes smaller. Smaller, until he is the size of his human-like self, his hair long and flowing, indistinguishable from the sand at their feet and his hands are folded against Dimitri's shoulders, arms sliding back over them until he can lace his fingers into the blond hair at the nape of his neck. ]
If you want to be good to me, keep an eye on Springstar's affairs. You know the importance of a solid foundation and a strong, central leader, little warlord. Anyone who seeks to threaten that — ought to be stopped. They threaten our ability to return home.

[ Dimitri breathes out in something that might be relief when Set is once again the same size; when things are 'normal' - or as normal as it gets when Set's fingers are twined around him and he can feel the other man (god) close against him and imagines he can feel the beating of his heart and the warmth of his skin. His eye falls shut. ]
I know. Trying to undermine the system now would do us no good. Nor am I even sure anyone would be able to do a better job with the task laid out before us. So... I will do this. I will watch. And I will listen.

Good afternoon, Dimitri. [ Link's Communion message comes through clear and even, with a pleasant tone. ] Have you been well lately?
This may seem strange, but I am going to Kowloon tomorrow and I felt I should tell someone. The place has quite the reputation, and I'm going there to meet a Zenith, and... well, you never know what could happen. It didn't seem wise to just go without telling anybody.

Link! I've been doing well enough, thank you.
[ Although he does have his own worries and stress. But he doesn't want to burden Link with them. ]
Which Zenith are you meeting? Some of them are honestly quite reasonable.

[ haha.... yeah...... some of them are, aren't they? Whereas some of them just have the most rancid vibes ever. And a smaller number still have been banned from Heliopolis for messing with the tree!
So it's with a wince that he answers: ]
Bondrewd. I need to return an item from him that I still have from the Oracle contest.

Ah. I... see.
[ Well, he can't say that he's going to police who Link gets along. ]
Well, I hope all goes well. If you need me, simply call.

I will. But, don't worry — it should be fine. This is just a precaution.
[ And as Dimitri knows, Link is fully capable of taking care of himself. ]

It's always worthwhile to be cautious. But please, do let me know if you need anything.
[ Very suddenly, there’s a sense of Communion touching your character’s mind. However, it’s as if they connect with the mind of a shared Aspect, as they’re not able to block out the brief, but sharp memory that comes to them. ]
A Shard-Bearer shares an anecdote about their life at a bar, but they stop mid-sentence when the realization suddenly strikes them. They don’t remember the details of their son’s face anymore.
[ ooc note — Just to avoid OOC confusion/misinterpretation, the details included in this memory are random and are not necessarily interconnected or plot meaningful beyond a surface level. However, your character is free to interpret this random memory however they’d like! This event will also be touched on somewhat during today’s NPC Communion Post. ]

[ The last Oracle being one hell of a time for more than a few people Yuri knows, he can't help wondering how a certain king is faring. Once people immediately around him are faring well enough that he feels he can take the time to himself, he reaches out via Communion.
It may not be his favorite method, but it may be preferable to stopping by unannounced. ]
You hanging in there, Dimitri?
[ He hopes so, but he's heard some wild tales about someone exploding... ]

Oh, Yuri.
[ There's a flicker of recognition. ]
I'm managing so far. Trying to process everything has been... tiring.

I wouldn't say no to it. I'm... still considering so much of what happened.
[ And the fall-out. ]
How are you faring?
[ And the fall-out. ]
How are you faring?
Oh? Have they been making comments about you...?
I'm a perhaps used to it as a prince and then a king, but it's still a little uncomfortable at times.
...true.
[ Dimitri sighs. ]
My house, at least, is still private. So you can count on that.

Not this time. I can figure out tea or something...
