Absolving you of your since is not a choice for me to make, nor is it among any of my abilities. [Ithaqua turns his head to press a kiss into Urianger's palm and nuzzles it after like a cat.]
But as you have pledged, so shall I. I shall be there to support you-- or enforce any decision you make. I am not a creature of rigid morality, any decision you make shan't scandalize me. I am fully capable of sullying my hands, so you don't have to.
[It's quite close to being a wizard's promise, but not quite. Not yet-- Ithaqua wants his first wizard's promise to be his last, to have enough gravity that nothing else he shall attempt will be able to come close. That he won't even consider making any other wizard's promise, because the one he'll potentially make with Urianger is enough for lifetimes.
As for the name? He's finally given it to someone else, and he's glad for it. Perhaps it won't be forgotten to time, and there shall be a chance he will hear it once more.]
