I see.

[ All of this must have taken place outside the Horizon, in a time and place that Thancred cannot begin to conceive of, and straining to remember will only make him more frustrated. He still knows none of the details and this stranger-who-isn't-a-stranger doesn't see fit to share them with him. It would be a bit of a waste, given that it will all come back to Thancred as soon as he leaves this place.

Yet he also can't quite stop himself from asking questions as he continues to take in these strange surroundings and how they somehow manage to feel both foreign and familiar to him. ]

And you can simply... do that? Change your form at will, even outside the Horizon?

[ Yet this seems to be the height that the stranger prefers, if this is how he chooses to appear here. Somehow he suspects there is more to it than simply wanting to tower over others. ]

[Perhaps fortunately, simply asking questions is one of the better ways to get answers out of Emet-Selch. There might still be no guarantee that any answers will be the complete truth, but they are still answers nonetheless.]

To an extent, yes. Though it would not be as simple a matter as it is here.

[Doable, yes - he has done so many a time - but not quite so easy.]

I see.

[ Thancred crosses his arms, tapping his foot against the unfamiliar ground beneath him. There is more he could ask, but to what end? Soon enough his memories will return to him and then he will be able to form a conclusion about this interaction, bizarre as it has been. ]

Well, if you have aught else to tell me while I'm here, feel free. Otherwise, I will continue to wander. And I expect we'll speak again, ere long.

[ He's not certain he should ask for a tour, or that he wants one at all. ]

[unnecessaryflourishes]

I do not. You are free to leave should you wish.

[In time, Emet-Selch imagines they will meet again. Either in the Horizon once more, or through any of the various other means at their disposal. But if Thancred is disinclined to remain in his domain, then Emet-Selch sees no particular reason to force the matter.

(There is no point to it, and he has no immediate reason to do so besides.)]

Though I imagine that we will speak again, given time.
