And suddenly, he truly, wholly knows what Silco is doing. It enrages him a little, to know that Silco is asking him to do this. That Silco is showing him where Jinx lays in rest, and is entrusting Set with the most important thing in his life — yet, Silco would not do the same for Anubis. Would not choose another path, to allow Set to keep himself safe. Silco is going to try to end Quetzalcoatl, and he won't even step up to keep her promise to Set — nothing Set needs most, is something that Silco can give. But, he is a man in a position of authority and promise.
That has to matter, because nobody has ever saved Set. Protected him. And he dreads the day Silco attempts his kill — because, if he is successful it means nobody will ever do that for him. He is, in the end, meant to suffer and be alone. That is, truly, the role for him. He will walk out of this war with Jinx and Anubis in his hands, at the least. It embitters him a little, makes him angry and resentful. He thinks... no, he doesn't think at all. It bleeds from him within seconds, because the anger is useless.
He knew what he was walking into, with Silco. It is not about protection, it is about power and information. ] I would ask if someone came for her, but if they had, I do not think you would have slaughtered them like this... and left her in place.
[ The scent of blood is strong on his tongue and in his nose. ]
What happened here, Silco? [ And he does nudge him, to indicate he is still intent on reaching Jinx. ]
