"If I wanted that to happen I'd have suggested it," he answers dryly and in a way which suggests he recognizes the anger simmering beneath, "and yet not even I'm interested in that. All there is to do is respond when requested which was my point."

Though - at that Sidus does pause and genuinely so as he regards the other god before him. "Perhaps I underestimated your lack of faith in me after all. I'm talking playing the hero from the start considering you and I or anyone else can't control what brings about tragedy or prevent it, try as we might. No songs about brave rescues in your future, then?"

An opaque way to go about any of it, even if part of his goal from the start in investigating the shrine was without a doubt to bother Zagreus. And more importantly, there was a time long ago when Sidus wouldn't have bothered to lift a finger to assist whatsoever. He's conveniently forgetting (or supposedly forgetting) that now.
