openish ☓ i see god in birds and satan in long words

WHO: Ilias, Max, & maybe you???
WHAT: A catch-all post for November
WHEN: Firstfall, pre-Ghislain
WHERE: Various
NOTES: Warning: dead bodies & dissection etc. in the mummy thread. Feel free to toss a wildcard starter on, or hit me up on plurk or PM if you want to hash something out! Ilias's October prompts are still roughly applicable, as are the hooks in their respective info pages.

Ilias nods, not pressing for more. If she is her titles first, that's her choice. He'd rather be more than a family name, himself. His handshake is firmer than he looks, if not exactly talons.

There's a pause, wherein he considers leaving it at that; certainly remaining opaque is the smarter move politically, but-- "I don't believe I do pose a threat to the Inquisition, if that's what concerns you." Himself, his family's reputation, maybe, but not that. "My grandmother's machinations are not mine."

A pause, then a slight quirk at the corner of her mouth: a threat to the Inquisition, yes, that's the concern. Let him think that all he wants.
"Isn't that always the way," Teren replies, neither accepting nor refuting his assertion. "I'll see you around, Ilias."

That sounds less friendly than perhaps it normally would. She turns to go.

With a curt nod and a gesture, Ilias makes no move to waylay her.

Well. At least he has a name to go with the face he seems to have offended, if very little else.
