[Even if Set maintains that his worry is not founded in doubt of Liem’s capabilities, to Liem’s ears, his arguments still sound like an indictment of Liem’s ability to function without him. The sentiment that bad things happen to him when Set isn’t present seems like it could very easily lead to an outcome where the god doesn’t trust him to remain on his own when anything significant is going on.

Besides which, having Set at his side is no guarantee that Liem will be safe from unexpected danger. During the false trial set in the Scorching Isles, probably the most dangerous thing Liem had to endure was finding the hourglass in Voryn and Set’s company.

It is not a failing of yours that led me to spend those days trapped beneath the labyrinth, and I am no worse for wear because of them.
