No, to be truthful. I will not be doing such a thing.

[The words that Emet-Selch says have a bite to them, though it is not directed at him personally - nor does he take them as such. No matter how his friend attempts to play down his upset, Elidibus knows better.]

I am here for you. Nothing more, nothing less. Here for you and whatever it is that you may need. If that is to spit fire at my person - literally of figuratively - I will weather what needs be done. If it is to sit in silence and provide companionship, I will do so. And yes, should you wish for an ear, I will give you mine for however long you require.

[Elidibus presses a hand to his breast, slightly frowning.]

But I assure you that this has nothing to do with duty.
