Phoenix would never let them forget Alec, not that the kayori would want to. But having him included in an oracle deck isn’t quite the same as worship, so a happy medium should be achievable. Eventually.
“Phoenix did buy this for you,” Simon points out. “A gift from a lover? Are you sure you don't want to keep it?” Although secretly, he's not surprised that Alec might not want to keep such a.... an interesting object. But then, Simon isn't aware of Alec's fashion sense in general.
A goddish thing. It's as good a descriptor as any. Simon has indeed become godlike, and has a place in a pantheon who respect him, and whom he respects in turn. But there's that It about him. The monster of the void.
“Summoning?” No Keldran would be that stupid. In fact there are no recorded cases of any kayori, anori, or ed'iori being summoned by other Keldran species. Danaë protects her children from any offworlders who might attempt a summoning. The ed'iori, little sparks of light that they are, often simply appear for the asking. The gods of Keldra can hear prayers, and - quite rarely - may appear before someone who particularly catches their interest...
As he considers Alec's question, something in Simon rises to greet that malicious malevolent glitter of what the real Alec might be. It's a recognition of sorts. Simon has a healthy respect for Alec, absolutely he does; and as a mere god, Simon knows he couldn't hope to survive if Alec turned only a small part of that power onto him.
But, that gleeful Terror, who would shred reality for its own pleasure is very much what Kuvahli can be, if It has a mind to. So the forces inside Simon cannot help but respond to Alec. For one moment, his eyes blacken into twin voids that reflect no light whatsoever. His voice drops as low and gravelled as Vahl's ever did, when in full Nightmare mode...
“I had no idea that was one of the perks.”
He has it under control almost at once, and his eyes return to their usual cool blue. Simon is what he is, and will not act upon it while there are innocents around. Or indeed if he's in Passages Inn, because it probably falls under the rule of stupidity. Turning Voidfire in the territory of the personification of Chaos is, after all, imbecilic.
