Oh, absolutely on that front. We won't be calling on him at all for the time being, and it may strike people as odd if they haven't done it. But they won't explicitly say "we can't go talk to him because he's still sleeping off his encounter with Omega" and leave the player going "wait, what, when?"

At most you'd get a variable line making up some other excuse why he isn't available or we don't want to disturb him.

And I don't agree that it would have been more genuine coming from him. On the contrary, it seems far more significant that we convinced her to help us than for Midgardsormr to say that she should.
