[It's not until the small figure under the pile of blankets speaks that Furina realizes her error. She's approached Nahida--Buer, Lesser Lord Kusanali, the God of Wisdom who was recently freed from her long-term imprisonment at the hands of bad actors in her home land of Sumeru. Most importantly, she's someone whose divinity is genuine and unquestioned.
She really, really doesn't want to take on the Archon role again after finally being freed from it after so long, but she slips right back into it with uncomfortable ease. What choice does she have? If she lets the mask slip, she'll have to answer for her sins here and now... which is arguably worse.]
It is not often that we Archons have the opportunity to meet.
[In Furina's case, that opportunity was "never" by design. Pretending at godhood for fellow humans was exhausting enough; she was certain she wasn't able to convince actual gods. Luckily, the rest of the Seven were either absent, dead (RIP Morax), or occupied with their own nations.]
Who would have thought that such an occasion would have presented itself here in this land of dreams? When the weather improves, I insist that we meet in a much more fitting environment.
