[ But it could be here. When all is said and done, Emet-Selch would not find himself overly surprised if this were one of the locations Viktor wished to return to, to wrap up unfinished business. Emet-Selch cannot bring himself to be upset about it, either. To have the potential of a length of time spread out before them but no driving need to do any particular task first is a very good carrot to dangle upon a stick. ]
