[ That soft, shocked surprised is almost answer enough, and it makes her heart ache. He’d said as much, but still, she can see it clearly right now. He’s not used to people picking him above others. ]
Well… It could be complicated, yes!
[ She laughs a little sheepishly as she nods in agreement, because that’s easy to see even without knowing all of the details of just what Set would be returning to. A foreign god (heh) from far across the world suddenly showing up and declaring themselves a staunch ally to Set…? She can easily imagine any pantheon being on edge about that, especially one with her kind of power, since she assumes it would return to her when she left Kenos. So in a way, that almost makes the solution easy. ]
I could give up my Authority, I’m pretty sure. That would probably make me a little less scary to show up so suddenly! And whatever else tu familia might like to do to make sure that I’m not there to cause trouble, that would be fine with me!
[ She says it so easily and warmly that it would sound like she’s offering to give up something easy too, but it’s anything but. It’s giving up the vast majority of her divinity. She would be a god in name, but not in power. But for her, it does feel like an easier prospect than it may have… a long time ago, now. ]
And whatever you have to do, that’s okay too. I think…
[ She trails off, since what comes to mind is something she thinks is phrased in a way that could make Set mad. But ultimately, it’s what she feels. Her expression turns almost shy, because she wants him to know it’s something earnest and loving—there’s not the judgement that she worries he might hear. ]
I don’t think you should have to do it alone. So, you might need me more than any mortal might, yes?
