Azoth was happy to see that Rime had understood his ways of ruling rather well. He was kind of used to have people misunderstand what he meant and spiral into him being a tyrant for some reason, while he was offering more freedom and help than any other emperor before him. The noble arcosian would have to prove his good will to these people, he already had a plan for how to do exactly this on Plant, and hopefully it would send a message of his new empire, even if things did not work totally as planned. The Tuffle's planet could be the first to join the alliance, and from there, with their combined effort, surely they could grab some others as well.
It was nice to speak to a kin, one that was not mentally a child at least, because for reasons Azoth was aware of, most other alien species did not trust him, or rather, were doubting him just enough to never truly commit to a conversation proper. Rime on the other hand seemed to have an understanding of how Azoth spoke, even if he could tell the concepts were relatively new. The Arcosian Empire had been everything but benevolent for as long as their were conquering the stars, the last emperor that was sort of benevolent was the first one to unite the planet, the first emperor to sit on the throne of Arcose himself. The one who Azoth revered above all.
'' Yes, much like our first emperor, the one who united Arcose. Give the people a voice, hear it, act on it, but keep things centralized with a powerful throne presence. Work for everyone, and everyone will work for you, that sort of thing. I hope Arcosians, and then the rest of the galaxy, can see the values of such an effort. The results it could have on a galaxy working together would be the likes of those who allowed our society to flourish in the first place, but as the scale of our whole world. Of course, then we'll have to deal with the same issues Arcose is dealing with right now, corruption and all, but it will be a gigantic step foward in the right direction.''
Surely, someone would come after him, maybe a long time after him, and would figure out a way to use his vision and push beyond it, much like he was doing with the vision of the first emperor. Azoth, in his own mind, was just doing his part of history, and it he did well, his name would be remembered. Setting up Arcose's sphere of influence as a positive one, giving tools for everyone to better themselves under the benevolent guidance of the arcosian empire, what a dream that was.
Oh, it also appeared that Azoth had misunderstood what Rime meant about the Majin's intelligence. The agent corrected himself, saying that the information on Majin was quite lacking, which the noble arcosian could only agree with. He had barely even heard of such beings before he met Faustus, and his physical capacity were quite exceptionnal for a species who was barely known throughout the galaxy. Perhaps that was because they had no homeworld, so they were harder to pinpoint? Although Rime's warning was a fair one.
'' Oh, sorry I misunderstood what you were saying. I will keep your warning in mind during my fight, Majins do seem to be the resourceful type, and with their kind of body, I can only imagine what is the limit of the insanity they can pull.''
He would then chuckle with Rime, for a species that could transform a whole lot, it was almost strange to call out another species for their strange body, but Majins were really something else entirely, almost like a strange, gooey material given life and sentience.
After a few seconds, Azoth's eyes would return to Rime, a curious spark in them.
'' Oh Rime, if really your power does cause you issues like that, I could always spar you once or twice. I'm quite good at supressinng my power, and while I would say my energy is my greatest fighting capacity, my technique is close second. We could certainly learn a bit from each-other, and you'd get some more punch, it always helps.''
His proposition was honest, although he would really appreciate having another arcosian on his side to fight Hibernal, it was also... that Rime's story about feeling weaker than the average noble got to him. If someone wanted to be strong, he could at least try to show them the way.
