“I think that's a false dichotomy,” she says, frank. “Standing with us or standing with him— if you've enough power to be called a god, are those your only options? They don't have to throw in with Corypheus to be indifferent to what happens to the rest of us. If you've two problems, and one problem deals with the other without your lifting a finger, well, now your troubles have been effortlessly halved.”

A shrug,

“The witch, Flemeth, she's what's left of the goddess Mythal. And she's been out there, for centuries, harboring her own agenda and her own grudges and not giving an iota of a fuck about what happens to those who still worship her. Self-absorbed indifference is an option, too. Plenty of people who aren't gods choose it every day.”
