Keigetsu is very tired and strained right now, and having relaxed a bit in this conversation as she tried to think his words through, she's having trouble immediately summoning her facade once more.]
If you're so much older and wiser than the gods, why are they the "Majesties"? Are they going to be grateful to you for this, too?
[she wonders if Ives would share his angle even if she asked more directly than that. probably not. in Keigetsu's experience, whether you're honest yourself or not, most people don't tell you anything honestly for free.]
