Whims

Lex and Jotun continued their conversation for a while, but it was more or less evident that Jotun either did not know secrets about the greater universe, and that revealing the secrets would involve Lex in certain matters that were best avoided.

He subtly became aware of Karma, and how even knowledge could bind him to some Karma. He did not understand thoroughly what Karma was yet. Surely it was more complex than the simple explanation for it from back on Earth. Even so, he did not ask Jotun. Who knew if learning a little more might trigger another tribulation? It was best to take things steadily and slowly for now.

Even so, Lex could learn many useful things from the emperor. Even if he did not know the many secrets of the Sephore family, he still knew many things that were considered secrets to others.
