The Efivara remained kneeling for several breaths before finally speaking, his serpent-like eyes fixed entirely on Nosphaleen as though Sylas wasn't standing between them at all.
"Goddess, it took us an extraordinary amount of effort to locate you after your disappearance, and too much has already been delayed in your absence. Please return with me now so that the rites may continue."
Sylas listened without changing expression, though somewhere inside he wondered why so many people had decided that today was the day to test the limits of his patience.
He had already crossed an entire Heaven, killed a God, unraveled an ancestral descent, and finally pulled Nosphaleen out from beneath the influence strangling her mind, yet there was apparently still someone willing to walk directly in front of him and pretend he didn't exist.
Fortunately for the Efivara, Sylas was in a good mood.
"Yamero."
Space barely moved.
