[ This is... almost worse. Hythlodaeus never wanted to give Emet-Selch this kind of pain. But he also knows that this is not the kind of choice to leave to other people. This star, and everyone on it, needs to live on. It needs to be saved, and it needs to recover, and for both of these people need to do what they need to do.

And Emet-Selch... will hurt, but he is strong, and he'll do what he must, too. Until all is set to rights and his work is done, then they can find each other again. And they will. They will. ]

It is. [ Softly. ] You know I never could do much, beyond seeing. And now I can. I can help save our star, that it might live on, grow, and be as beautiful as it used to be. And I know you will see the rest, but also...

Once it is restored, you can see it for me.

[ The way that they see. Something they have shared for a long, long time. ]

ooc: ... I'm cool with either too, with a bit of a preference towards shipping - both or ot3 with Azem - so go ahead and do what feels good!
