It isn't Safrin and it doesn't really care about shows of affection or whatever, but it would be nice, on occasion, for its chosen to come to a shrine just cuz. "It was not a success, no," it agrees about the Tower, even as the hourglass begins to take form over their heads. Blood combines with sand, the sapling branches warp and twist. "Ah, so you want a skyport and some fancy new abilities?" It raises its eyebrows, slowly pushing the marshmallow into its mouth. "You wouldn't have died," it says, the words muffled.

Speaking of which, it hovers before the alchemist, the sand swirling and suspended within. Remi has completed his quest and has received the following: Doomsday Clock | An hourglass swirling with crimson sand which falls neither up nor down. When placed upon a 'dead' Old Gods demigod, the sand will form the number of days until the demigod awakens.
