Time frowns. "It is your choice. Though, can you at least stay for a day? In the Clocktower, there's better tools to use than rather on the road. We could at least confirm and diagnose you. Plus if that... outburst of yours ever happens again, it'd most likely be in a place where nobody may be able to help you. You'd die."

He also nods to Lianhuan, "Yes. You are correct. He will not know who's a friend, and he will not know who's an enemy. What he is doing places him at risk of injury in death. Logically it may be best to stay at the Clocktower. But..." he reasons, looking over to the stranger, "my guess is that for him, technically right now, he isn't really... living. He isn't there helping his people, so he might as well be dead. So for him, it's trying to get his life back. To live once more. He's been quite literally given a second chance at life. Since if Huck didn't find him, he'd be dead by now."

"Or I could just be wrong about my assessment of his character." He shrugs.

The man nodded his assent to Time. It made sense for him to remain there longer, as much as he didn’t want to. “I appreciate the concern. I will extend my stay in the Clocktower for a bit longer, but I would like to depart as soon as I can. I am aware my condition is not… ideal, but I would rather find out what I can now than risk worsening and never knowing.”

Huck stepped forward. "Perhaps while you stay here, I can visit this kingdom myself? I know I said I attract attention, but I would be able to move about more easily if I did not have to worry about an amnesiac." Somewhat blunt, but it's clear the creaure means well.

He swung his great head towards Time. "It may do some good to have some of your spellcasters come along. We could make it an official diplomatic visit from a deity?"

Time nods to Lianhuan, and gives him a look saying that maybe they can talk and sort stuff out later, if he wishes.

He then looks to Ark "I know I'm not one to order you around Ark, as you are you're own deity and you can do what you like," Time looks over to the magic god, "But if you do decide to come, please do not make a scene wherever you go. Do also wear a disguise, please."

He then directs his attention to Huck, "As for mages, I was thinking it to be a good decision to do so. I'll look at my current options to see who might be the best pick to accompany you, and I'm sure the few mages stationed around the region won't mind joining up if extra security or needs are required." He nods to himself.

"As for an 'official diplomatic visit'... are you proposing that I send a representative to chat with the leaders of the coup? Or do you just mean something more subtle in ways of collecting information from those still loyal to the previous ruler and Ishmael?" Since his face is almost always stoic, it's hard to tell, but there are hints of surprise, but even more dominant is his increased interest.

(@Time - Your persona accidentally called Ark Axel lol
Also just to be on the same page, I think GGaD!Time implied earlier that the main deities know who's behind the coup or at least have a very good guess on it? For the record, that's a big reason why Lianhuan is acting the way he is btw, plus some other stuff lol)

((Shh let's ignore that))

((Tbh I just kinda left it at an implication bc idk how much Time should know. Like how much of a trace did the CDs leave on the coup?))

"No. I will be sending some mages with you." Time nods, "I consider Anetiva to be in an uncertain situation and I'd like to gain more information on what's going on in there."
