[Norman has been a little too much of a mess to come and see Elias - at least, that's the excuse he gives himself. The god is just a boy, after all, and what does he care about how much the past few months have put him through the wringer? He'd killed a Fog priest, yes, but it had been for himself - and it had been a disaster. For a number of reasons, he feels like he's overdue to have a chat with his Most Powerful Adopted Kiddo.

He lets himself into the arcade and bellies up to Komplex, something that's very like Tetris if you squint, and pushes the 2P button so they can play together]

Hey, Elias. I'm sorry it's been a while. ... I figure ... you've got enough on your plate without listening to an old man carry on about his problems. But ... I need to apologize to you for something.

[he clears the first two lines quickly, methodically, dropping the pieces down as soon as he has them in place. he has a plan. he has a method, tactics. up until things really start to get fast and tricky, they work exceedingly well. is this a metaphor? perhaps.]

I killed one of the Fog's priests a while ago, and - it was out of anger at him, not ... out of ... not for you. But no one seems to have really noticed, anyway, so - maybe that's good? Either way, even without that - it's been too long. I promise I'll come around more in the future.
