TalOS fell silent as he began to consider what Malcador gave him. Ideas of all kinds were swirling within his mind as he tried to really figure out his thoughts. Even as he thought, TalOS could feel the ever present effect of the Golden Throne coming upon him in waves. Such a devilish amount of power that TalOS could not help but feel respect for.
In the end what TalOS wanted to say was not really related to the Ruinous and Evil Gods but to that of his own faith. Would the simple denial of these Gods, to deface them as false creatures who both grew from and spur humanity, also mean that TalOS could not respect the one God that he truly worships?
By denying the Devils, does TalOS deny God?
However the more and more TalOS thought he came to an answer, “They are Cancers, as you say Malcador. And I would be a fool perpetrating their existance any further than that.”
Instead of a smile TalOS saw the man raise a brow to those words, “And what is your reasoning behind that?”
Those words did not mean what they meant, the double talk of the vocal tongue that carries through the air instead of energy. He wanted to listen to TalOS’s explanation and learn exactly what TalOS thought of it. To make sure that TalOS was telling him the truth of the matter.
After all, from what Malcador explained, it seemed that if you were not careful your viewpoint could poison yourself in favor of the foul gods. A danger that he wanted to make sure his closest of confidences did not hold close to their own heart.
And for a moment there was admiration in TalOS for him. This moment shows that the old man was experienced enough to make this reasoning and that he truly wanted to know. It was a tad underhanded, but one cannot outright say that they wanted to know your thoughts to test them against reason and logic.
And maybe, just maybe, he was curious about what TalOS thought of the situation.
