And what am I supposed to do with it? These people seem to value how well they're treated and whatever they've done has interfered with-- ( He says, unable to help but to rise to the humorous bait set by Phainon, though his voice is not as challenging as it might have been were Mydei well-rested. He does not need sleep since obtaining divinity, and yet here... it feels smothered in his breast. What is the point in pulling him from his fate, his duty, if he is not to use that power? Gritting his teeth, annoyance pointed more at their hosts than Phainon, he continues. ) I know you.

Not only because he is familiar -- if that was the only requirement then Castorice or Dan Heng would have sufficed, but because he trusts Phainon.
