❝But I tell you, do not swear
an oath at all:
either by Heaven, for it is God’s throne;
or by the earth,
for it is His footstool;
or by Jerusalem, for it is the
city of the Great King.
And do not swear by your head,
for you cannot make even
one hair white
or black.
All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No';
anything beyond this comes from
the evil one.
—Matthew 5:34-37

[ Well, isn't that suspicious? ]

My, and here I thought I may not have been as helpful as I could be.

[ But the topic of Meteion is distracting. He could dig further. It'd be logical to. Press him for what he means, pick at their brain, get answers, and maybe he will, but about the bird? Well.

Let him just finish off that drink in one go. Yeah. ]

Yes, yes, you recall, but I believe you had a little step up regarding certain knowledge at the time. I still am disinclined to claim her as mine. If I were that man... Hermes... T'would be as you with Mikaela, I imagine. Alas, I am but a poor replacement for that fool.

She would only be harmed to be near me, much less know me, or call me her—

[ Father isn't the correct word, but Hermes felt so protective of her. Of all of Elpis' creations. It's almost... ]

Her creator. I will not do her the disfavor of it.
