Well, you're certainly not wrong on that front.

[Spoken by the 'retribution' herself.]

You do seem to know a lot about this.

[pragmatism]

Of course. I am one of the divine as well.

[ If anything, he looks at her with a slight tinge of confusion. How does she not know this? ]

[poisontippedcure]

One of the divine? You?

[To some degree, she understands that this is a memory, so she’s not terribly confused about making a fool out of herself. She is going to make a point to talk to Zhongli after this, however.]

[pragmatism]

Yes.

[ Morax tilts his head. Rose must be living under a rock if she didn't know the name and face of the Geo Archon. ]

You do not know?

[poisontippedcure]

I wouldn't have asked if I did, now would I?

[Any sane person would stop here.]

You look very different from the gods in my world.

[pragmatism]

[ 'My world'. He gives her a tilt of his head. ]

Is that so? What do they look like?

[poisontippedcure]

Much more monstrous, for sure.

And there are no guardian deities?

[Rose shakes her head. It's a good question, honestly, and it's one that is at the heart of why everything is so wrong with Eorzea.]

Not in the manner you're referring to, no. Some of the beast tribes summon guardian deities of their own, but those have the tendency to brainwash those that summon them. Gods that exist for the good of the world are practically non-existent.

[She should mention Hydaelyn, but Rose isn't convinced that she doesn't fall into the camp of the former. Until it's proven otherwise, Rose is going to assume Hydaelyn isn't working for the good of Eorzea.]

[ Beast tribes? Summoning gods? Brainwashing? That certainly didn't sound like actual divinity. Maybe a powerful enough force that masqueraded itself as one. ]

That is unfortunate.

[ This seems to be all that Morax will say, as he prioritizes his country first and foremost. The problems of another world are just that - someone else's problem. Which means: ]

Are you here to visit or to relocate?
