Precisely. He thinks the same events will play out all over again.

[Is Rhea'li offering to talk to Azem on Emet-Selch's behalf? Elidibus can't help but smile wryly.]

Take care not to accidentally find yourself in a position where you will be filling them in instead of Emet-Selch. If he refuses to talk, that's when I will intervene, but I am hoping he will soften to Azem's pleas quickly enough. That said... I appreciate it, truly. It would trouble me if that incident was what pulled Azem away from him...
