He watches the man formerly known as the Crystal Exarch regain some of his former stoicism, standing straight. He knows. Whether he lives or dies in this moment depends on Emet-Selch, once enemy of his people, of his star and its shards, and of his dearest, most beloved friend.
Were he the man he was on the First, wearing the guise of Solus Zos Galvus, the decision would be an easy one. He would walk away without a second thought and rid himself of this thorn in his side once and for all. He could still do that, in fact.
But he's not that man anymore, at least not in full. Though he's not entirely sure who or what he is anymore, under it all, buried beneath eons and lifetimes of suffering and scheming and carrying the full weight of an entire world on his shoulders, there yet lives a sliver of the man who would always come whenever Azem called.
Before he can give himself too much time to think about it, and with no indication of what he means to do (sorry, G'raha), he turns sharp on his heel and bolts. ]
