Consider the Eye to revolve around knowledge. Being seen. Being known. The fear of all that. Jon possesses the power to gather that information. One could say I possess the power to already know information. I can reach out and be aware of information around me at my will.

Ah, and that is how you keep track of your Archivist. Small wonder as well that you are able to anticipate and guard yourself against threats.

[ These answers satisfy him for the time being. Elias doesn't come across as an unreasonable person and he couldn't care less if they're a murderer or not. ]

[fingeronthebutton]

Such as knowing already about the conversation you held with him about me? Yes, that is how I keep track of him. In a manner of speaking. It certainly does make it easier to plan things.

[emet_sulk]

Then I need not waste words. I haven't the slightest bit of fondness for him, but I suppose you would be displeased if I were to kill him.

[fingeronthebutton]

I think the phrasing you are looking for is "if I were to attempt to kill him" actually. He is very difficult to put an end to due to his willing ties to the Beholding. But, I will not stop your attempts to do so. It doesn't bother me.

[emet_sulk]

Well in that case, I shall scheme to my heart's content. Death, I hear, is not permanent in this place anyway.

[ ... ]

Your Knowing...does it apply to others?

[fingeronthebutton]

As you wish. I will simply watch unless aiding him benefits me in some way.

[As for that delightful question...]

It does. Would you like me to call you by your real name as proof? Or will this simple question suffice?

[emet_sulk]

I would hear it so that I know you do not bluff.

Presently you have the appearance of the name that you provided me. Solus zos Galvus.

However, you are more commonly known as Emet-Selch...the Architect. At least by those who are familiar with who you really.

Your true name though? Hades.

[emet_sulk]

Impressive. Quite the useful ability you have.

[ And dangerous. But he's sure that needs no saying. ]

I would request that you don't share my true name. It is a private thing few earn the privilege of.

[fingeronthebutton]

I have no need to share it with anyone. So your secret is safe with me.

[emet_sulk]

Well, we shall see about that, won't we.

I might have need of a power such as yours in the event certain individuals from my world move against me. What sort of exchange would you ask in return for its use?

[fingeronthebutton]

That would depend entirely on what information you wish for and about who or what. With that said, I can be negotiated with.

[emet_sulk]

Then that is something I shall negotiate for if or when the time comes.

Thank you for clarifying matters. 'Twas an enlightening conversation.

[ And he's certainly not going to be judging Elias for his deeds. But he thinks Elias probably knows that. ]

[fingeronthebutton]

Agreed. This was very enlightening. I hope we can have more conversations in the future.
