Teknall saw Astarte approach, and he could see her pitiable state. She seemed drained of all her usual glee and whimsy. If he had been given the chance, Teknall would have gone over to try and comfort her in this time of mourning. Toun was not so sympathetic, and his outburst surprised Teknall as much as it did Astarte.

As Toun finished his rant, Teknall gripped him by the shoulder and pulled him back a step. [color=Peru]"That was unnecessarily cruel,"[/color] Teknall scorned. [color=Peru]"Can't you tell she is upset?"[/color]

Then came Vestec, who censured Toun and Teknall and the other 'good' gods for their hypocrisy and inaction. Teknall let out a dejected sigh. Teknall had no will to argue with Vestec any more on these points, especially when Vestec spoke truthfully. [color=Peru]"We get it. We're not as good as we'd like to be. We established this last time we talked."[/color]

Then Vestec began replaying scenes of him and Reathos fighting, and explained what had happened with Reathos, that he had killed Reathos in self-defence. Teknall's brow furrowed as he examine the scenes and Vestec's words. It was quite possible that Vestec was lying through his teeth, but his story also made sense. It was indeed true that Vestec had little reason to outright murder another god, and Reathos had plenty of reason to enact vengeance against Vestec. His story could be corroborated with the record on the Cube once it was deciphered, but for now it seemed the most plausible explanation.

Teknall made no verbal response to Vestec's explanation, although he did not appear to reject it. When Vestec went over to comfort Astarte, Teknall turned back to the Cube. It was still indecipherable. A translator would almost certainly be needed.
