That's correct. I only spoke to her once, when she first created me, but — ahaha. I suppose she would know better than anyone, just what to tell me so that I would play my part to perfection.
[ And so she had, though it nearly was not so. Had thought it not so, and had feared she had failed Focalors, failed everyone until the moment she stepped out of the Opera Epiclese to clear skies a purified people. At the very least, she can allow herself a small kernel of pride, of having stayed fast to her path until the bitter end.
Her stubbornness has always been noteworthy, after all... ]
Now, I am no different from any other human. [ A little flourish of her hand. ] The curtain fell on the greatest drama Fontaine has ever witnessed. Are you familiar with Monsieur Neuvillette? The authority of Hydro now resides with him.
[ As it always should have been, though many of the details of Focalors' plan and Neuvillette's power remain lost on her. She suspects Zhongli must at least be familiar with him by name, as one of the dragon sovereign. ]
[ Furina says, That's correct, and then immediately follows up by admitting she's spoken to Focalors all of once in 500 years. Which is not quite what Zhongli had meant when he said 'directed'. It seems his understanding of Furina is even less complete than he'd realized.
He wants to press further, but before he can the conversation turns to the subject of the new Hydro Archon. And that, too, is a subject he very much wants to dig into. Compared to his understanding of Furina and her situation he actually knows very little about Neuvilette. Without his Gnosis any information he wants to gather on him will have to be done the hard way. Though perhaps not so hard with such a willing conversation partner. ]
I've never had the opportunity to meet the Chief Justice in person, but I have heard a great deal about him. Given the length of his tenure as a judge, I can't imagine there's anyone more suitable to inherit the Hydro authority.
