[ She smile. She wonders if she really helps that many people get through life... She used to help them get through the afterlife. If now she's capable of doing that with people still alive, she's happy. She nods at his question. ]
Be careful not to let this knowledge affect your behavior around them. I do not believe either Set or Tezcatlipoca would attack you, but Silco might. [A pause.] I do not know how just yet, but he has been able to kill a goddess in another world. A friend of mine, and he approached me to gloat about it.
[ He could just be lying, but she got confirmation from the other two people on this list that it's true. The fact that Set isn't busy avenging his lover and Tezcatlipoca doesn't do anything against the man who killed his sister... That just makes it all the more worrisome. ]
I plan on getting more information. [She looks at him with sadness in her eyes.] I-I'm sorry, Wriothesley. Me sharing this with you put you in some danger... But you were the first name that came to mind for this.
[ Neither Set nor Silco had seemed particularly vengeful when he'd spoken to them briefly, but if he's learned anything it's that appearances are terribly deceiving. Though he trusts Ereshkigal, he'll have to do his own research into the matter somehow, without bringing up this particular bit of knowledge.
That's a problem for later him though. Current him has more important things to worry about, like the guilt creeping across Ereshkigal's face. ]
Hey. You don't need to apologize for this. I'm glad you trust me enough to share your worries with me. I just wish there was more I could do.
[ Danger has been enough of a constant companion for him that he doesn't think much of it anymore, accepting the risk as just another part of life. ]
It's not like all of us aren't in danger every day here anyway. [ Kaiju, natural disasters, an unstable government…. ] And I'd rather be in danger helping keep the people important to me safe.
