They were going to drive her insane, this much she should have foreseen. Savayna was probably a bigger headache than Jaakuna--she should have anticipated the resistance. "[color=mistyrose]I can see why the two of you were married,[/color]" Emette's initial response was rather dry, though it did earn her a scowl from Grant. "[color=mistyrose]Are identities so important to you humes that you need to know [i]everything[/i]? I keep telling you we don't have time to waste. And of course it isn't coincidence! Everything you've stated up until now is the absolute truth.[/color]"

"[color=darkorange]Then telling us who you are would be in your favor,[/color]" Lorenzo actually found himself agreeing with Savayna.

"[color=mistyrose]Does it truly matter? What if I do tell you--no, let me correct myself, [i]when[/i] I do tell you, it's only going to raise more questions and further prolong the inevitable. We'll end up sitting here, fiddling our thumbs while you bombard me with 'no, that isn't possible!' or 'how could this be?' and let's be honest, it's going to take a while, even with a simple explanation.[/color]" Emette pointed out. "[color=mistyrose]The pieces are all there, anyway, you just...haven't figured it out yet.[/color]"

Grant narrowed his eyes. Admittedly, he hadn't been as satisfied, but with Lola's appearance, as well as Keiran's, he understood Savayna's point. "[color=magenta]You have to understand our point of view as well,[/color]" He decided to side with Savayna, although he thought it best to appeal to Emette in a different direction. "[color=magenta]Your identity is a detail, but a very important one. We don't want to walk into enemy hands--even you can understand this. Far too many times have we been too trusting...some of us more than others...and we want to know that as much as you want us to trust you, you have to give us reason for that trust.[/color]"

Emette was silent, staring at Grant. She crossed her arms as she would turn away, looking at Savayna's wall of ice, at her own blurry reflection. "[color=mistyrose]I'll admit, 'Emette' was a name I came up with on the fly. I couldn't very well use my real name...well, I have two names, truth be told, but either one of them would probably throw you all off guard and make you think the wrong thing,[/color]" She said, placing her hand on the ice. She looked back at them over her shoulder, a serious look on her face. "[color=mistyrose]Know this: what I'm saying is the absolute truth. And in a way, you will all know it.[/color]"

Taking her hand off the wall, she dug into a hidden pocket in her dress. She slowly pulled out a [url=https://thefashiontag.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/vintage-necklace.jpg]very old key[/url], barely hanging on to an equally old chain, and held it out for them to see. Jaakuna would instantly recognize it. "[color=mistyrose]As a mortal, my name was Justine Rosenburg. My true name, however, is Emet-Selch, the Angel of Truth and Scion of Light.[/color]"
