"Now that I think about it, there was something - crystalline, about Lrilatha, I'm not sure how to put it into words - I'm not sure I'd ask her to research a new field of study, she can be one kind of person flawlessly and at speed but - maybe there's other ways of thinking she can use, that I didn't see, we were always meeting in formal settings - I'm not sure Lrilatha comes across as something truly greater than any dath ilani, who'd defeat any of us in every contest of skill? Just someone who spent a thousand years practicing a collection of things and is now unmatchable in those places - Taldane does not have any of the words or concepts I want to use right now. But maybe that's the difference between what she is, and a god."
"Is it known what Lrilatha turns into another ten thousand years?"
