The corner of the Emissary's mouth lifts knowingly. So she flinched.

"A vessel need not be alive," Elidibus reminds Irhya. Case in point, his current host. No indication is given on what he might still be capable of. He either sees no reason to reveal his cards so easily or confirm anything Emet-Selch might have already told the Warrior of Light. "But no matter. I have cultivated my identity as 'Ardbert' here and have little interest in beginning again. Do you now understand what it means to be willing to 'help me', Warrior of Light? Can you keep yourself from flinching any time you hear me speak with his voice?"

Can Irhya accept him interacting with those she knows and loves as 'Ardbert'?

Elidibus seems to be considering the matter of suggestion and murderous intent. Whether to discuss and give pointers. It seems he decides something must be said on the matter and so, with the same calm air he offers.

"What I suggest is that you think back upon your... confrontations with Lahabrea upon this Star." It's a blanket word, that. It would likely belittle the moments between the Warrior of Light and Lahabrea to call them less than a confrontation. "Consider whether you might have applied your..." naive he refrains from saying "...mortal comparisons to one of his stature."

Keenly, the Ascian regards Irhya. "You were not so foolish as to blithely dismiss his transformation based on your own experience and acceptance, I hope?"
