"You're exactly right!" Finn responded, his voice easily matching Sage Limitless' loud volume. There was no flicker of shakiness whatsoever. In fact, it looked as if everything was still proceeding exactly according to plan. And that absolute confidence made the Sage's newly gained vigour waver.
"I, the Errant, cannot be the congregation of the vengeful souls' cry for retribution… However, who said I must be the one directly?"
Immediately, Finn glanced towards Althea, and the moment his eyes shifted, the sage's gaze snapped over to her direction also, widening in pure confusion.
Even Althea seemed somewhat shocked by the sudden turn, her gaze moving to meet Finn's.
Finn grinned behind his bone mask, then faced forward, leveling his gaze at Sage Limitless squarely.
"Watch very closely. This is the difference between a divine being and someone like you."
