The entity that Achilles met at this time was an immensely powerful and unique one, and before he could even formulate proper greeting or question about the purpose of this meeting, she actually told him to Assimilate her Civilizational Authority as if such offering was completely casual!

It made him all that much more cautious rather than eager, because offers that seemed too generous usually concealed complications or ulterior motives.
The overwhelming need that drove him to want to consume this unique authority saturating everything around him in concentrated waves, he actually reigned in through conscious effort and discipline.
He did not begin Assimilating endlessly just because she said he could do so.
His voice when he spoke carried a calm measured quality that revealed nothing of the internal struggle occurring.
