Hm. They are resources regardless. No one wasted the time and aether Summoning in preparation for determining the fate of a star without the intention of using what they gained. It would be wrong to say they would be literal weapons or that every society saw them in that way. Though it would also be foolish to think it's not one of the more likely scenarios. A tool can also be a weapon. A weapon a tool.
He'd certainly gathered many of his own to use over the millennia. All the way to the end. Hythlodaeus' opinion also earns a slight nod of agreement and a glance after Elidibus finishes eating a piece of the meat skewer. He's steadfastly making an effort against being drawn into memories of grapes.
"Then our arrival here at least has ties to the relic." It certainly lends credence to the idea it in turn is linked to other realities... other stars. What is spoken then of the three nations' forces and their control on the Summoned... well it's of interest.
"I will take care to remember."
There's clearly much and more he will have to hear in detail. In private. More to study and learn.
The offer doesn't take long to consider. Though like all things it's clear Elidibus takes time to weigh the pros and cons. To be with like fellows while weakened, for don't think he'd missed the implied familiarity this other, vaguely alluded to individual. He won't pursue the puzzle, as agreeing will result in being led to the answer.
It's unlikely a community driven society would see anything wrong with what amount to kin gathering and supporting one another. Particularly if one were to maintain the right amount of connection with the population. Ah, provided this were more than a temporary arrangement of course.
And one might have the sense it would lead to permanent residency. Though Elidibus would not presume so far.
"If it isn't an inconvenience, I will accept your offer." The visage of a youthful man looks up and opens his eyes again to regard Hythlodaeus. "I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you and yours more."
