[The immediate relief in Set’s tight embrace, in the soft breath he draws against his neck, plunges into Liem like a deep draught of water after a long thirst. He lets himself drink it in, fitting himself against the god so that, for at least that moment, the two of them become one entwined shape, without a single space between.
Despite the nature of Set’s boon, to Liem it still seems more like a gift from a cherished companion than a blessing from a divinity. His relationships with the divine have never been like this; even Abadar has always been distant and untouchable, his invisible presence felt only in the flow of certain parts of the world. Though the power Liem wields is certainly divine in nature, born of their own covenant, he has never felt his patron’s arms around him or his lips against his hair.
Set is a strange god; if they succeed in bringing this war to a conclusion, he will miss him sorely.]
Thank you, Set.
[He is so warm. Liem cannot help but seek his closeness, splaying his fingers over his skin, despite his distracted awareness of the second presence at his back. The reality of dealing with two of Set at the same time is both startling and a little overwhelming to contemplate.]

I will make good use of your boon, I promise.
