[Hey, don't go putting the pieces together! Just keep believing they're villains, it's easier that way. Sure, he wanted the Scions to know the truth, for he planned to take them on as possible allies, but for others? It works far better to believe their fronting.
Sure, he did indeed introduce himself as Solus, the name he will continue to use till he finds its use obscelete, but that did not mean he's not still trying to distance himself emotionally from its ties with the mortals. Also, yeah Zenos is fucking terrible.
The news surprises him, not only that Zenos was able to return in such a way, but that he likewise sought to take out Black Rose. What has become of that deranged child? Does everything have to fall apart every time he steps away? It certainly seems so.
Leaves Loghrif to the first, that ends in failure and thus he comes to clean up the mess. Leaves The Source to Elidibus, and now Black Rose is compromised, and his--that body's--great grandson has returned in a fashion that's almost Ascian in nature... Here he was the architect of nations, yet now he was feeling much more the janitor of his cohort's incompetencies.
For a moment, he's left staring at Estinien with widened eyes, blinking a few times as he processes the immeasurable derailment this plan has suffered. So much has gone awry, when it should have been perfect, he was so close to retirement! It should not have come to this.]
...That is...most unexpected.
[And here he is, stuck in this world, incapable to return and right the course! What a horrible feeling of helplessness this is, one that's left him speechless.]
