[Zelos only presents a threat to his dignity.]
[But Yuan's bearing is straight, his chin lifted, and his height is not inconsiderable; he is not doing a particularly good job of looking not scary. The entire purpose of being a librarian was to be not scary. He is here to be innocuous and gather resources and contacts and not draw attention, and he has done a terrible job of the last lately.]
I am not a threat to the Chosen. I would swear to that before Martel herself.
[He never likes invoking her name, but people around the Chosen tend to respect the religious.]
[And Yuan is going to examine Zelos's affection later.]
