And Ellitrea can confirm that all of this is, at the very least, something the woman honestly believes. And add a few details that she didn't speak out loud.
Altarrin is still confused.
He's confused about her world and its gods. That's such a specific system - so much infrastructure, apparently maintained by the gods - and such an oddly tidy method of categorization, which he doesn't entirely follow because the woman mostly isn't explaining it and Ellitrea can only pick up a little extra from her thoughts. But if his inferences and guesses are right – and if the woman's knowledge is true, rather than propaganda or even just human misunderstandings of entities far too alien to classify with words – then some of the gods are...friendly to human interests.
He's confused about dath ilan, and Keltham. There's a picture starting to form, but the pieces don't yet fit together. A world with an advanced civilization, that publicly acknowledges no gods and perhaps never had them at all. A world that destroyed all of the records of its own past. That thinks it best to destroy entire worlds if they're not above a certain bar for human flourishing - and it feels like that could be related to the previous point, that somehow there's a coherent worldview and decision process that produces both of those, but he doesn't see it yet. It's a world that believes in, or at least speaks positively of to its young people, coordination and people acting in their own interests as long as it doesn't harm anyone else - systems that emerge from this and build beautiful things, though that's more half-glimpsed from her relayed thoughts than explicit in her worlds -
Dath ilan believes being the kind of entity that can make and keep promises... For that, if it's true, Altarrin can admire them. He doesn't see yet how it fits with the rest.
....And maybe most fundamentally, he's confused about the woman sitting in front of him right now. Speaking clearly, not letting her fear control her, even though he knows that she's afraid. A woman who immediately responded to being a helpless prisoner by promising obedience - until Keltham arrived I had no history of being heretical or difficult to control, and I am no longer under those unusual circumstances and will not be rebellious or difficult again, she said -
- and in her thoughts, never quite spoken out loud but definitely hinted at, she had planned to defeat a god. The god who she used to worship and serve. Because she thinks that Asmodeus is running his afterlife badly.
Most people aren't like that. Most people could never be like that even given the best circumstances, and it's clear that this woman was given among the worst circumstances for it. So much of her is still - boxed in, visibly-to-Thoughtsensing constrained by the invisible walls of a society caught up in tyranny and lies.
(Altarrin knows what that looks like. He understands it. Lately he sometimes finds himself wishing he didn't, even though of course it's better to see the world as it is.)
He doesn't feel like she can possibly be real.
(If she isn't, if she's instead a lovingly shaped, carefully-planted spy pointed at garnering his sympathy and admiration so that he lets down his guard– ....probably not worth chasing down that line of thought, he doesn't see how it could work and if it's somehow the case anyway then he's not sure what he could do about it.)
He's so tired. This is clearly an urgent problem, and it's also the most interesting thing that's happened in the last 500 years, but he's already taken more time away from his usual duties than he can really afford. And he still doesn't know what to do.
