Plotting to protect Azem from censure (again)

(First part of Ere the Curtain Falls. To be rewritten from his perspective.)

TAKEAWAYS:

* He's the Emissary. That's important. He has a role and duty to make impartial decisions.
* He admires everyone else he works with; it seems as though they're all somewhat older, though he only has strong impressions of a few. They're all extremely cool, including the guy he's talking to, Emet-Selch, who's prickly and acerbic but has a good heart. He has a strong impression of Azem's personality but, for some reason, can't quite remember what he looked like...
* Azem has a tendency to intervene where maybe he shouldn't, but that's just part of his ever-refreshing perspective. Themis feels a responsibility to keep him out of hot water.
* They talk about pulling all the fire aether out of a volcano, manifesting it as a fire elemental, and beating it up as if it was nothing particularly special. In the memory, he doesn't see it as a particularly notable feat.
* The city they're in is beautiful.
