"Certainly," Monzun says. Within them, there is an echo of insult--is he implying that Sweetheart is stupid?
It takes only a moment to settle that no; somehow, they don't quite think that's what he's getting at. Because he's getting at...something. They realize they're assuming again, but they'd have to be three Lands away to miss the shift in Lethys' demeanor.
"...I am aware she would not do the same for you as for myself." They certainly would hope not! Sweetheart is no mindless automaton, listening to any order that reaches her ears. Not even their own. They (generally) prefer this.
"However--you may have seen worse, as you say, but unleashing a storm upon unprepared Villages is an emergency to me," they make very clear, finally drifting from the sea, "and at least her giving consideration to an allied god's input in an emergency is...preferable to the contrary, is it not?"
