Phillip nods slowly, putting the crystal back on the desk. It's not just the knowing he's answering, but he's trying to figure out the best way to talk about this.
"Most people knew of Azem, anyway." And it makes so much sense, doesn't it, that Gustavain is known two worlds over now, befriending and helping people wherever he goes-- "But yes, I did know him."
He goes quiet again, looking off into the distance and chewing his lip. It's clear he's choosing his words carefully, likely is obvious that he didn't really want to talk about this but doesn't have much of a choice now. "Hades was my brother," he says, and he still doesn't meet Gustavain's eyes but from context it's clear that he means something different, than how the Ascians call all their fellows brothers, "And he and Azem were friends. So... I was around, a lot."
