[ Silco never has to doubt Set's loyalty, the fact that they understood each other in this way was theirs, but he does feel a twinge of fondness for the god's threats. Set is his personal little meow meow etc etc
Set would do anything in his power to protect them from this constant tug of appearance and non-appearance, the way Yima's own world had ripped his heart over and over, reminding him of what he couldn't have, leaving him half-maddened by the prospect of never seeing his daughter again, of losing her over and over. Kenos had pulled him half-apart, leaving only purpose left, and Silco can feel it now. The way his mind still recoils from the shreds of it.
If this were communion, he would have reached out, but it is not, so he can only offer a soft note of fondness. a 'hm' of acceptance. ]
I know you would. I would gladly allow it.
[ He would rather that, than spend another day dealing with these manipulations. ]
There are dangers, even here in the base. Look out for her when I am not able to. [ It's more than he deserves to ask of him, he knows. ] She can take care of herself, but...
[ A beat. ]
She's different than before. [ He can't quite quantify it. He doesn't know how to describe it. He can't voice what he thinks which is that he's probably dead, but he doesn't know how. She just said he was gone. ]
