[ Tezcatlipoca laughs at Set’s satisfaction, but it’s because he gets it. That’s what happens when you spend too much time around mortals, he figures, but doesn’t comment on it beyond the laugh. No need. The underlying point is understood. But he does frown as he hears more of Zenith’s people. ]
Ahh… Well, not sure if that’s good news because it means I got plenty of work ahead of me or bad news if I’m putting my lot in with a bunch of lazy fuckers.
[ He clicks his tongue in disappointment, but it’s clearly the exact same sort as Set’s. Tezcatlipoca couldn’t acknowledge anyone passive or who lacked drive. He’d more readily end their lives himself than allow them to squander what they’ve been given, but tempting though that may be, this isn’t Mictlan. He may be arrogant and unyielding, but he’s also not a fool. These aren’t his lands or even associated with them at all, so far as he can tell. It’s not his right to do so.
…Well, not seemingly arbitrarily, anyways. If they refuse to rise up to the occasion and falter before him, that’s a different story. ]
Well, doesn’t matter, I guess. Sounds like we’re on the same page, so that makes that part of things easy. I won’t get ahead of myself to speculate about anything else. At least not ‘till I get a more personal idea of what I’m working with. From the sounds of it, hope I can whip a few of them into shape. If not, well. [ He shrugs ] They’re not worthy to stand before me, so they’d better hope I’m not shaping the world is what I’ll say.
[ To even let in a few would seem odd when his purges were so absolute, but… Sure, if that’s how this works, he guesses a few who have proven themselves could make it to the next stage. ]
1/2......... why did you ask this question set
