Dear Sothis. This is why people exhaust him. Linhardt can't even pretend to be able to follow Felix's train of thought. And the questions are the worst part of things like this: They're things he has to answer spontaneously and not in an organized fashion. Ugh. Stripping things of context.

"More. I don't know their precise age, but I'd wager at least three or four thousand. Except for Flayn: I'm not entirely sure how old she is."

"Yes, including the Crest stones. Crest stones are the hearts of the dead." There's not really a nice way to put that, so Linhardt defaults to clinical language, "Yes. The Saints' Crests were gifts to allies of the Goddess. I'm not sure how they were given to us, though. There are also other Crests: One of the Heroes was turned into a Beast and erased from Church history." But not from the Adrestian archive, which is how Linhardt had figured out about Marianne.

"Your Crest was given to your ancestor by Solon's group after they slaughtered the rest of Sothis's children. They killed them and turned their bodies into Relics and Crests. Yes, Sothis is Seteth's mother, as well as Rhea's. And Indech's, but he doesn't speak to anyone."

'Oh yes, by the way, I also know where Saint Indech is and went to go see him.'
