That must describe the two factions, mustn't it? The Celestials and Temporals?

[malewife]

Yes, that's what I believe to be described as well. It sounds like there was a separation... With some following this unknown entity.

But this book has had some years on it, compared to our Watchers that have only been here for a week.

[booksleeves]

Then. . . the watchers report to some higher entity. Perhaps the book describes the origins of those entities? Or else a process that has occurred before.

[malewife]

[ A nod. ]

I am assuming so, though we're barred from knowing what this entity is and if all of the current Watchers regard it. It would seem that whatever we're entangled in might have a longer history.

Or the current Watchers are lying about their arrival.

[ He's just paranoid, though. ]

[booksleeves]

Hmm.

[She frowns just a little.]

You know, sir. . . the watchers do, from time to time, listen to the conversations of those in their factions. I thought it would be helpful to know this.

[malewife]

Unsurprising. I'm used to higher powers listening almost at all times and making comments.

[ He doesn't seem ruffled. ]

They can make note of my dissent and accusations.

[booksleeves]

You are?

[What.]

But yes. . . I simply would not want you to be unaware.

[malewife]

[ She reminds him of someone, so he nods to show he appreciates the heads up nevertheless. ]

I am. Where I am from, Constellations—gods—watch humans for entertainment. They would send public messages to make comments more often than not. It was obnoxious.

[ ... ]

It's peaceful here in comparison.

[booksleeves]

[That seems. . . completely outside the realm of her experiences. But she nods along with him anyway.]

That sounds quite challenging. But you must be rather bold to find it easy to insult the gods when you know them to be listening.
