It was awkward but not unexpected, Emet-Selch made it very clear he doesn't view the current races as people. Ancients talking to him like a familiar was tiring.
Meteion is like a member of the beast races to him. There's evidence they're created but in his mind meet the requirements of being people

Quoting this cause it inspired me.
People’s whose WOL is one of the more “beastly” races like the ones listed here, how did they feel about the way the Ancients in Elpis treated them as a “familiar?“ And did that have an effect on how they viewed Meteion?

another thing that really gets me about elpis is that if you're playing a miqo'te, au ra, hrothgar, or viera, meteion is the first person you meet in the ancient unsundered past who looks anything like you. and then you learn exactly what the ancients think of her.
