"What else haven't you told me? Tell me everything this time." Ultimately, all this came down to Elune withholding information. If she had told me the whole truth from the start, things would certainly have been very different.
[Even if I told you everything, would you believe me?]
Patrick thought it over seriously, but before he could answer, Elune had already supplied the answer: [You wouldn't, would you?]
There was no point in lying. If Patrick had known all these things beforehand, he would have been even more wary of Elune.
[Exactly. So is this really my fault? What difference does it make when I tell you?]
Patrick laughed in exasperation. "So this isn't your fault, but mine? You knew all this and didn't tell me sooner, and now you think you're in the right?"
[Whatever you say, I'm like a dancing fairy; whatever you say, I'm like...]
"Stop, stop, stop. Why do you always go off script?" Patrick was truly fucking fed up. What part of her resembled the legendary Moon Goddess?
[I might not beat you in a reasonable argument, but according to that important principle in your thoughts-only magic can defeat magic-I think using your own thoughts to defeat you is the best choice.]
Forget it. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Elune. After all, she had helped him a great deal. In terms of power alone, there were many things Patrick really could not have done without the help of Elune, the "goddess" with the highest level of authority over Azeroth. Her greatest help had been back in Uldaman. Patrick had been no match for Archaedas then and might very well have died at his hands.
Coming back to his senses, Patrick continued compressing the Coffin of Space. He did not intend to kill this
