[saturations]

Here? Meditation, amongst other things.

Your seat. You are a god, then?

[ktiseos]

I certainly am not. My people do not have gods.

[not yet, maybe, but.]

Other things such as...?

[saturations]

A mortal then? In charge of the Underworld?

[...]

Other things.

[ktiseos]

What-- no.

[a little offended, there, almost a scoff.]

We are certainly not so limited.

[saturations]

[ god this is the most crystalline conversation to ever happen ]

Then a being of power.

[ktiseos]

[clearly he is well-assigned...]

We all are beings of power, by that standard-- although some of us do wield more of it than others. But we are chosen for our Seats primarily based on our knowledge and expertise in a specific area; mine is one of the few which requires any inherent talent.

[saturations]

Would the others argue the same for their seat?

[ slightly amused. ]

[ktiseos]

'Tis simply fact. One must have the ability to perceive the Underworld to oversee it, after all, whereas if one wished to oversee the creation of marine life, they need only become an expert in the field. Any individual with sufficient interest, intellect, and dedication could do so, but no amount of determination would grant one aetheric sight.

[saturations]

I see. So a role you were born into, or destined to become. Is it one that you wanted?

[ktiseos]

It is one that I was honored to be given, upon my appointment, but it is also one that I hold after another chose to decline.

[saturations]

Mm.

[ A pause. ]

A feeling I am familiar with.

[ktiseos]

Are you, now.

[a touch of actual interest, there, a brow slightly raised.]

And in your situation-- what was it that you were given? Or took upon yourself, if that may be the case instead.

[saturations]

A duty to honor. I ...

[ They stop again, now a little halting. ]

I only know that it feels familiar.

[ktiseos]

Hm.

Something too long ago, is it? Or something simply unclear?

[in either case-- well. it's hardly ideal. these things should be borne in mind.]

[saturations]

A question difficult to answer, I think.

[ They sort of shake their "head" ... or wherever the head is supposed to be.]

Either way, it is not surprising. It is perhaps the thing that marks us as similar. A dedication to the duty we choose to uphold. Mine is to this place, and therefore, the people within it.
