[And kings famously never have friends. Honestly Set doesn't think he could do both. Have a friend and be king and the obvious answer is to choose being a king.]
You are the foreigners God and I am the ultimate foreigner. [She points out, smiling and unconcerned. If anything, Kings could use more friends.] And I have nothing I need from you save for a bed and occasional meal. I do not hunger for power–I quite abhor it–I have no interest in trying to manipulating you into anything more serious than taking a break.
You could use a friend, Set. King or commoner, we all have a heart and we all know it is lonely in the dark.
[Set recalls his father's words about his heart. What he had told Osiris when they were children. "The heart of an animal will never change". Of all the children, he'd been the only one with any animal-like qualities. His behavior, the anger that would rise up in him, was surely animalistic.
He didn't know if he agreed with her assessment.]
Thoth is not a proponent of breaks. Neither am I.
Anyway, my godly titles are just titles. Things nobody else would want. I am also the god of chaos and violence.
Not yet he isn't. [So help her Eru she is going to work out how to get them both to unclench and take the stick out of their rear ends.]
And I was a child who never knew light until I was centuries old. We can change. We can learn new things. And you can't get rid of me besides. I fear you are stuck with me and my elven foolishness. [So nerr.]
Unless Thoth does find a way to get you back to where you belong.
[He did just take her literally. Not meaning this as anything more than just saying she may not be staying here for long than any personal feelings he had on the matter.]

[For that kindness he gets a smile, a true one, and a fleeting squeeze of his hand.]
I am sure we could be good friends, you and I.
