"They're being extremely sensitive right now. Anything is suspicious."
Not only because of the start of the war but followed by the Heralds. Although he feels as if claiming the gods were to blame was reasonable enough of an excuse or any sort of odd behavior, it's not as if the Summoned alone experienced the effects. He puts his papers into a pile, in an order that only he really understands, and shrugs at Lucifer's confession.
"It may surprise you to know that back home I have a bit of a reputation for not shutting my mouth when frustrated by people in power spreading ignorance. My former mentor Stregobor really hates when I'm around to call him a liar in public."
Stregobor, who has been haunting him a great deal recently. Istredd means surprise in terms of him seeming so calm and centered at all times, and he mostly is. Especially in an unknown place surrounded by unknown people. He is playing the quiet game here.
"That being said, I do that in my home, surrounded by mages that I know. Not the precarious situation we find ourselves in. We're not going to get any information that way, Lucifer. The only way to get anywhere here is to suck up and earn their trust. Not something that I think either of us will excel at."
