[ Sion says 'my empire', while he says 'my people'. That, more than anything else, embodies the difference between them.

But he has no inkling of what runs through Sion's mind, only what he can observe from the outside. So he nods. ]

It is entirely possible. I have dedicated my existence to guiding my people. Even if I may be separated from them now, even if the people of Enprise are not my own - I will help them.

[ Is this a sentiment that Sion feels? A compulsion to assist? He, as the pinnacle of a nation founded on principle of industry, does so because it is aligned to his true nature. Krythe had no magic of its own, so its people turned to innovation and scientific advances to keep up with the other nations. They are a people most keenly aware of their shortfalls and work to overcome it. Above all, their church preaches betterment of society through industry. What excuse does their head deity have to not embody every single one of those traits?

There is none. The truth is that he must be a role model, and that he will. Even if Krythe is gone. ]
