It's difficult to watch on from where he is and not feel the brimming urge to close the distance purely to comfort. He's spent long enough around these people now that he knows what that looks like. Could even explain it if he was asked to, and it would be convincing because his breadth of emotion and experiencing the world is everything it had always threatened to be. There had been signs long before the tadpole.
Was it the overwhelming arrogance of gods that convinced them they truly could control mortals?
It seems fitting he's thinking about it on the cusp of this particular conversation. There's too much to try and work through, and he's had the benefit of a day to shut away his own family-related drama until such a time he can look at it again.
Unfortunately neither of them have the luxury of time now. So it's with slight relief that Enver's words look immediately to what comes next.
"The brain needs to be destroyed. It's why I need your stone. ...I may have once wanted what Bhaal wanted, but not anymore. I cannot unlearn everything that I know now. And to strive for anything else would be the antithesis of who I choose to be. Not what I was made to be."
