Jean focuses on listening, his expression rarely changing as Psyche continues explaining - but there is a notable change at the mention of 'compatible with people already in the universe' but he chooses to ignore the thought for now. He can worry about that later if he has to. That's not what he was here for.
It had been a thought in his mind for a while that the Arcana didn't get very involved with the events in Jaunts. He's seen them mostly as... observers. If they wanted to, they could have probably changed the flow of the Jaunt as they wanted to, right? Yet it never felt like there was a larger power affecting them.
"So you're saying that everything you're responsible for is just picking the world in they went to." That sort of made sense, if they were meant to leave the problem solving to Travelers. "So your position in Jaunts is mostly for observing and guiding us the way you want the situation to go, rather than what the opposite does?"
Well, not that Lovers was in the game anymore, but anyway. It was still true for all of the others. At least those who went by the "rules".
"Then what about the Grid? I heard you spread a virus with the Devil."
Psyche gets an expression that isn't quite guilt--more, one that's of being caught out.
"That was different. Not my Jaunt, so I don't have to stand back and watch. And... well, all that stuff with SAGE is pretty special circumstances anyway. He almost damaged me and MALBOLGE. And if he hadn't pulled the stuff he did, Cephas would still be around--not that I got on well with Cephas, but it's the principle of the thing."
She sighs. "But yeah, that's pretty much it. Finding the worlds and situations to plop you down in. It makes for a better game if there's more random factors."
The word 'game' makes Jean look very unimpressed. They seemed to toss that around a lot, these Arcana. It's enough to upgrade his annoyance into yelling.
"As long as it's not your round, you can mess up with a world as you please and toy with the lives of people who live there, huh? That's wrong... Their lives are not for you to play with! It's not a game for them!"
"We weren't trying to mess up everyone!" Psyche protests. "Just SAGE's servants! It just got really out of hand, all right? I've only snuck into one other round since and marrying Zak and Elphie was hardly interfering! Or messing anything up! I told you, SAGE was special circumstances."
"Even if you wanted to mess up with "just" his servants, they were still natives of that world, right? Don't bring normal people into your fights between your own kind! I don't care what "special circumstances" you may have!"
