Well, naturally, we met through our mentors. Emet-Selch, not yours, but the one we knew as young men, had his place on the convocation at the same time as another. She was here briefly, you may remember Venat. Venat's disciple was the Azem of our generation.
Ah, but I neglect the connection. I was close with the previous Emet-Selch, as he was my mentor.
You were to be Emet-Selch? What, if I may ask, made you decide otherwise?
More over... I am curious as to the connection between this Azem and myself. Emet-Selch told me he was not surprised, that it made sense that I was cast in such a role in that world. Are we alike in some way?
Is that so? I wonder if that's why Emet-Selch took such a liking to me, initially. Though I am certainly not the same man, nor do I wish to be, it is curious that we share so many personality traits.
Hmm. I think you give yourself far less credit than you deserve. I won't tell anyone of course.
We can't have people expecting things from me, now can we? I'd never have a moment's respite. Like Emet-Selch.
[Especially since he has seen what life as Emet-Selch would be like for him. Awful.]
It is a touch uncanny, really. From that look of determination you always wear to the blatant disregard for your own well-being. There is no mistake. And as much as he drove him insane, he treasured Azem, truly.

But the position of Emet-Selch really is beyond my personal ability. I can see, certainly, but I cannot do all that much about it. Not like Hades can.

Hmm. And what was your relationship with Azem like? It seems like you two would have been in the Emet-Selch-Bothering-Business together.
