emet-selch and crystal exarch’s dynamic is also extremely funny to me
ephemeral is the flesh
before i got to shadowbringers i'd asked my friends "wait, do emet-selch and g'raha tia ever interact?" and they replied "only a little bit"

In truth, though, there is only one question Emet-Selch wants answered by this place, and it is thus: from whence have you come? All other quandaries posed by the Tower, its keeper, his eight-times-Rejoined soul, and what he truly means to accomplish by dragging himself and it across the rift to a doomed shard can, Emet-Selch believes, be explained by that single answer - or if not explained, at least further opined on, and if there is something he is singularly good at doing, it is having opinions. And yet five decades have passed since Hydaelyn’s irritatingly-well-timed interference and the Tower’s appearance and he has gained naught. Not even a hint of the Crystal Exarch’s past.
Thus Emet-Selch’s unannounced materialization in the Umbilical at half past four in the afternoon, when a cursory inspection of the Exarch’s other usual haunts, including his favored sitting room, turned up nothing but scattered papers and a long-cold pot of tea that must have been brewed and summarily forgotten.
old men being weird to eachother
clutching my emetexarch fanon in my cold hands that the reason emet bothered to shoot the exarch was because he Had To stop him from dying for his own sanity

"Sadism?" Emet-Selch scoffs. "Hardly, Exarch. This is science. Do hold still."
(When interrogation proves fruitless, Emet-Selch turns to the Allagan scientific method.)
