[ Matt parses "figuring out my own shit" as "pantheon family drama," wrongly or rightly, and does what he'd want someone else to do if he let something slip about his own family: doesn't pry, moves on. When Tezcatlipoca calls the tree's name boring, his lips twitch a bit around his current bite of jerky.
So it might be kind of like what he was thinking. Yggdrasil, sacred tree. In earth's history, trees are always life and lineage. Endlessly fecund, with roots digging into the past and leaves reaching for the future. Branches to provide each thing its own space to breathe.
It's an interesting thought, that this tree might be linked to the others. He wonders if there used to be a tree on his world that was linked to them too. He'll have to seek out the places Tezcatlipoca's talking about--later. For now, his gaze flickers to the boulder, scanning its carvings curiously for familiar symbols.
When he catches Tezca's grin, he returns it with a small smile. ]
Sure, I know the principles, [ he says easily, which is a less nerdy way to say I like playing puzzle games when I need inspiration for a spell diagram. ] Am I gonna be dizzy on the other side?
