[ Tezcatlipoca listens in silence and takes in this new information, and truly, what a disappointment. These Zenites immediately have his scorn, and it makes him consider Meridian the better bet here. If Zenith is too content and comfortable, then he’d rend the earth underneath them until they had no choice but to fight. He can only assume that’s why he was brought here.
Set slips closer, but before he can touch Tezcatlipoca’s cheek, his hand snaps up in a flash to grab it. It’s not so much that Tezcatlipoca is opposed to touch, but it’s something that comes with permission. It’s something Set would understand well, and it’s why the admission of his name after only causes Tezcatlipoca to laugh rather than retaliate to the slight. They are gods, and to reach out and touch them is an esteemed privilege. ]
Ha! No wonder your presence feels familiar and that you’re brazen. If I’m remembering things right, you might just be my reflection from across the seas.
[ Almost literally, but he can’t quite tell that with Set’s mask in place. He lets go of Set’s hand as his smile twists into a smirk that’s sharp enough to show his teeth that are more feline than human. ]
I can tell you now, Zenith won’t have peace much longer. If this is supposed to be a war, then it needs to be a proper one. And if one side is content, that ain’t gonna work, personally speaking. A battle without casualties is no battle at all, so I’m assuming that’s why I’m here. Funny, though, that the place has already got one god of war. Looks like it wanted to double up.
[ His pale eyes glint dangerously as he says it, but it’s familiar. There’s no malice in the words, no particular hatred or strong emotion. It’s a declaration of what must be, because it’s what drives a god over anything else. Yet, even with such a vicious declaration, the introduction is still casual. Maybe even friendly. This feels like it’s not far off from a family reunion, so far as he’s concerned, but without all of the drama of five Suns of history. ]
[ It's a language that Set will immediately recognize, considering Quetzalcoatl speaks it so freely. In the space of Communion, Set is also give an understanding of what each epithet means—"possessor of heaven", "possessor of the earth", "by whom all live". Naturally if Set is going to introduce himself with some divine dramatics, Tezcatlipoca has to do the same. ]
