Hm. Enough to stir, it seems, but not to fully spark more of a reaction; Emet-Selch watches, he files that away, and once that moment has passed, he doesn't quite linger on it.

There's more he could likely do to try to pick the man apart, but honestly-- he's tired, on the whole. Given no reason for it, he isn't exactly motivated to do so, when the whole situation sparks distaste.

"Then I shall simply hope they had others to remember in your place," he says, with a wave of one hand. "They will have need of it."

Dimly, he aches at that statement, somewhere deep inside, but there is only the barest hint of it in his voice.

"He did. But not for a long time, now."

Diabhall breathes in, then out, a slow, shuddering thing as he tries to check in with himself. About what the point of this conversation is in the first place.

"From an outside perspective, Emet-Selch, are you...seeing reactions in me, as we have been talking?"
