"I'm aware the Ascian is my ancestor, yes," is the pleasant response, but there's briefly a dangerous glint in those pale blue eyes. "Let us keep him a topic for another time in the name of ongoing peace this evening."

And with that, the matter of Emet-Selch IS put aside as far as he's concerned! The less he has to hear about the man responsible for entire worlds' destruction and how SOMEHOW this is all forgiveable, the better. "Pahja Nyancoya, though. A name I've not yet heard, though whether that's because you've not gained Garlemald's notice or that we are from different stars entire, I will never know." It's something to wonder, in a casual sort of way, by his tone. Nothing to really pursue. "And I apologize if I misspoke or gave the wrong impression - I don't hunt people, and certainly not allies. Eikons are neither, but we have none onboard to be concerned about."

Though he'd had a bit of time there wondering about Zagreus.
