Xefr's expression softens, and a tinge of relief can be heard in his voice. "Ah, it was merely a jest? That's good. Do not worry, I forgive you, as it would be foolish to simply trust me on my word alone. And I understand your position. You are of course worried that I may cause a uproar and disrupt the social order. Rest assured, that is far from my goal, and I do not wish to witness another civil war in my lifetime. But I believe I have made my stance on your religious matters clear, and I hope that is enough to maintain the peace. That is all I can do to satisfy your people and ruler."
Xefr's gaze then turns to Erixen, and a tinge of regret replaces the relief, "I'm sorry Captain, but I already know you lack the information I seek. In my lifetime of searching, thousands of years, I have not found it. The knowledge I need to end all the problems of this universe. I have seen so much suffering, so much pain, so much horror, and far too much death for little reason. The horrid things I have seen are legion and will never stop, until I figure out how to end it all. No more pain, no more terror, no more war, no more killing... That is what I seek. The means to rid this universe of all its problems."
The Warrior Spirit continues struggling against nothing, now with his head down, eyes closed, and muttering something in his draconic language. His counterpart seems conflicted, as if unsure on what to do. Xefr doesn't make any visible reaction, but by the sigh it is clear he noticed what goes on behind him.
