The Eternal Sanctum (Holy Knight Headquarters)

[Apollymi]

Anais and Yume were having a very normal conversation the former about her weird choices and finding this room acceptable before she asked for the input of her mentor. In this case, Ailen had been rambling pretty consistently, though not in a way where everything he said was even completely understandable. Anais found this interesting as she'd only truly observed this amount of speech from him like this when they were talking the very first time. His words stated that he wouldn't be picky in this situation and that if she found it satisfactory then all was well. "Hai hai..." she mentioned going over to the door, she'd move her hand toward an obvious place meant to hold her hand and bind herself to the room from the inside. It was hers for the duration of her time here. While she did this, Yume flopped on her bed and decided to speak. "So, are elves here like the high fantasy ones?" she questioned Anais directly, with that raised eye brow and upward inflection. A not so veiled hint that she wanted to know if she should be expecting full aristocratic, downward gazing tall people. "Tact. A little bit of tact. I only know two... and as far as I can tell, they are really tall people with acquired tastes and high fantasy troupes applied..." she answered honestly. "Though to be fair I am pretty sure the two or three counting the one have visions of can be considered eccentric," she added, which seemed to make Yume relax quite a bit. "That was tact... that question could have been way worse~" she admitted. "So then are you sharing my room?" she asked of the girl. "Maybe, probably... just a bit. I can always just go to Mugen-sama's room instead, but I'm not really tired or anything so I likely won't be sleeping any time soon. Besides you've been here 300 years, and I've only been here a day, you missed me," she admitted in a strangely off-handed manner.

Moving right along, Sakura was alone with Charles noting that she was only doing what she said she would. He acknowledged this and claimed he was being weird and that she should ignore him because he was still getting used to everything. He claimed she should also probably just ignore his flips in attitude as he tried to adjust, she couldn't really agree to that. "Iia, I don't think I should ignore it. It isn't that weird, I just don't understand its cause," she commented, aiming to be reassuring. She'd already mentioned he could take from her what he liked and she'd accept even his mood-swings as he tried to come to an understanding of his elevated existence. He apparently found the length of his life rather odd to consider. Some humans had this problem and that was normal as far as she understood it. The length of lifespans in this world were determined by the power of the individual, so some might not live very long at all, and he apparently didn't expect to live so long and have so much time pass without coming back to a place he liked. "Sou ka," she murmured seeming to gain some understanding of his plight. A life this long was previously considered a fantasy and now he was dealing with the fact that he'd ignored something he'd enjoyed and friends he'd had for a thousand years instead of simply dying in a fraction of that time. "I suppose having a fantastical amount of time in which to live is probably pretty overwhelming," she mentioned being quite young herself she didn't think about it much. Her parents had also lived combined for probably more than 20,000 years total. She didn't consider her life in terms of time but instead in terms of desires pursued, actions taken and things created.

[Bloodedge]

The raven-haired lass wondered if all elves classified as... high fantasy. Though Anais urged a bit of tact, Ailen thought nothing of it. In fact, had he known what she was talking about at all, he would have been able to share some insight. "I'm not quite sure what 'high fantasy' is, but I suppose a bit of eccentricity is to be expected from my kind. High societies always function as such, in my experience," he stated, recalling all the time spent in his original homeland. "If it interests you, Asakura-hime, you may feel free to consider it a study. I could always provide whatever information you may be lacking on elves of all sorts."

In the meantime, Charlemagne was busy reaching out for that orb floating over his bed. It just so happened to be a thing he had need of, or rather a desire to take along. Sakura used this time to disagree with a recent statement of his. She didn't think it was worthwhile to ignore his changes from one approach to another, stating that she simply didn't understand them. "I don't mean literally ignore it. I just mean... ugh, never mind," he grunted while reaching up for the orb. Once he reached it, he pulled it down and sat at the bed's edge for the time being. "Got it!" he exclaimed. Moving on from that, Sakura seemed to understand the matter of lifespans being a bit jarring. "Tell me about it. I'm trying to take it all in stride, but that's not even important right now. I should be thinking about getting back to the Nexus tonight, finding out how we're actually going to approach the Templar situation. That's something I should probably do sooner rather than later."

[Apollymi]

Even with the lack of tact presented by the question posed by Yume, Ailen was content to give his input based solely on how it was explained by Anais. It was pretty clear information and she took it with a gentle nod. Of course, his follow-up on that included the idea that she could consider it a study and he called her 'Asakura-hime' Her eyes widened and she found herself looking at Anais who'd also taken a seat on her bed along side the girl in the moments after claiming the room. "Okay... I'll let you know when I'm ready for that, study," she said seeming to be a bit surprised. "Oi oi, Mi-chan does he know he's like nerd smooth?" she asked of the other girl. "I don't think he does... I've been having that same thought a lot today," Anais mentioned as she also looked at Ailen with wide eyes. As for the rest of her statements, Anais could only chuckle. "I did miss you. Actually, after we fell into Munetsuchi and I started talking to everyone there after getting over being traumatized and deciding not to be traumatized I...." Anais stopped talking and looked up. "Ah, I am so dumb sometimes. I can't believe I missed that," she murmured only to readjust. "Oh, that has big missed test question energy~" mentioned Yume. "Yeah, yeah... I understand something I missed before while talking to Ho... I mean Mugen-sensei," she murmured almost slipping in conversation. "Anyway, I kept thinking it'd be really nice for any of you to be here because you'd understand why it was cool. I'm really happy it was you though, I do need my pushy VP," she mentioned seemingly at ease.

It seemed beyond the conversation occurring in Anais's room, there was a different sort of one happening between Charles and Sakura. There was some confusion taking place between them and it ended in Charles wanting her to forget something related to their conversation. She likely wouldn't, but she determined that this part of human interaction needed more work on her part. She needed more clarity. Whatever the case, he managed to get that glowing orb and pull it down which made her look at him and it strange. "What is it?" she asked genuinely curious about its nature and why he was so excited to get his hands on it. Moving on from this point he was indeed not settling very well into his extended lifespan but he didn't have time to think about it much. According to him, he needed to get thinking about his Templar problem and get back to the Nexus. "Well, you can always go to the Nexus you need only use your grail to do so. As for your Templar problem, I can only give logical sorts of advice," she said quietly. "Regardless, I'll go with you and we can start trying to figure it out..." the young goddess mentioned. She was oddly devoted though she mostly saw this from an outside perspective, she'd still help whatever way she could.

[Bloodedge]

"As you like. Unless my direct apprentice is in need of my full attention, my services as an instructor are always available to you," Ailen declared. Such would be how he treated any and all apprentices under the Myouou, bar Anais herself. Speaking of Anais, she was soon to have an unspecified realization ─ something to do with an earlier discussion with Mugen. "Tohsaka-san tends to have that effect in conversation. He can be deceptively vague at just the right times... or the wrong times. Frankly, it is often difficult to tell. One might wonder if it's a matter of demon kind, or something more unique to the individual. Perhaps a bit of both? I could understand the likes of him being an exceptional case even among similar entities, but there is so little understanding of devils that a proper conclusion can't be reached. Hmm. Asakura-hime is among their ilk now, but she would also be an invalid subject due to her strong similarities to him. If the differences could be found, however, perhaps it would be worth some investigation. I suppose time will tell," he rattled on.

Now that Charlemagne had his orb, Sakura expressed curiosity regarding what it was. He found it interesting that she didn't somehow know automatically. Ignorance of a magical object was interesting to see from the lass. "Huh. Weird; I somehow expected you to know everything about anything magical." Charlemagne took a moment to pat the space beside himself, offering a seat while he held the orb, deciding it was better shown than just explained. "Check it out! This is one of those magic tools used to determine elemental affinities, but it's been tweaked by some artisans. It works more like a generator and converter now. See?" he asked while funneling small amounts of mana into the object. That soft glow it radiated became a warm light similar to that of the afternoon sun, filling the room and spreading a sensation of serenity throughout. Deep inside, however, there was a splotch of black from his current input. "That's what I left in it a thousand years ago. If I did this long enough now, the room would probably go dark or something. Anyway, I promised I'd give this to Bradie ages ago. I just never had a chance to come back here for it."

With that explanation out of the way, Charlemagne held the orb out in case Sakura wished to toy with it for herself. He knew visiting the Nexus would not be difficult, yet part of him feared the answer. So few things had gone his way lately, what would he actually do if they had no way of locating the next grail? Regardless, Sakura's claim of accompanying him was something he nodded to. "Right. Even if we don't get the answer we're looking for, we'll make something work. I shouldn't be so worried about it."

[Apollymi]

Ailen's words about his availability were noted. Actually, it was about expected that someone would commit pretty heavily to their chosen apprentice and in truth Yume was happy her friend was finally being chosen on her own merits. "Hai hai..." she replied. It was interesting hearing her friend some three hundred years in her own future still sounding so very much herself except in a few choice moments. Beyond this, according to Ailen, Mugen had a habit of being vague and his meanings only popping up way after the fact. Anais believed that based on her own experiences alone. The continued ramblings thereafter were also noted by Anais even as she continued conversing with her friend. "I don't think he's vague, maybe we just think similarly," Yume mentioned. "You definitely think similarly... and you're definitely vague unless you are purposefully trying to get a rise out of me or anyone else..." Anais mentioned. "I still knew you missed me," Yume countered. "Yeah, yeah... I did. Shishou, I have a couple of friends who probably fall into that category of devil connected or demon kind. They're a bit abrasive but they'd likely talk to you, Liv would, though she is admittedly very eccentric..." Anais mentioned. "I don't know if I like the way you said that..." Yume mentioned. "Liv is the Grand Inquisitor... she's like Roze on steroids," she gave context to her friend which made the girl's eyes widen. "This world is so interesting. I'm glad I am here where a random Holy Knight type is a demon connected dominatrix. I didn't know I needed this much honesty in my life," Yume noted happily, though that last bit made Anais look at her though she didn't immediately question a thing which she wanted to know.

Meanwhile, Sakura was learning about something new. Though he thought it was odd that Sakura didn't just know what something was, he still rather excitedly explained the item to her in detail. Her eyes were sparkling as she heard out this explanation and she found herself rather amused that humans had come up with such a thing. While he explained he funneled minute bits of mana into the thing and had it glow with the warmth of midday. "Sou ka, that is pretty interesting... I like it," she mentioned taking hold of the thing and giving it a gentle inspection. "Also each of my parents have a different area of expertise. The ones I spend the most time with I have the most general knowledge concerning their areas. Otou-sama is the one who specializes in magical tools, because of what he is, but... I've seen him least. And humans in Munetsuchi make different kinds of progress since they bring their children to the Tenshukaku for evaluations like that..." she replied. As a goddess Miwa was actually fairly hands on as far as her people were concerned. At the same time the mana that Sakura passed through the orb seemed to pick the darkness out of it, leaving it purely that midday sunshine feeling.

Moving on from this point of interest, Sakura handed it back to the lad pleased about its existence. She'd agreed to go with him and Charles had nodded. He claimed that even if they didn't get the answers they were looking for they'd figure it out. "It's fine to worry a bit, but I'm here to help and look after you if you need me to," the girl said still offering herself as she would. This entire situation was interesting and though she had no personal stake in it, she saw Charles's desires as worth looking into so she'd help him achieve his goals.

[Bloodedge]

The similarities between Yume and Mugen were only made more clear. Yume believed Mugen wasn't so vague after all, which proved only that she thought very similarly. "I would presume that is exactly the case. You mentioned being summoned earlier. I assume the method by which it was done, likely resulted in summoning you because you were the best suited to Tohsaka-san. Given his ability, I am also willing to believe the selection pool was... impossibly massive. There could be no better fit," the elf declared with relative certainty. As for the friends of Anais, Ailen considered himself officially interested in meeting one for study. "Hmm. I may wish to meet this 'Liv' person. I assume she is one of the friends you have in Aincrad?"

After Charlemagne's brief demonstration, Sakura did indeed take that orb into her own hands and begin fiddling with it. All the while, she explained why her knowledge of magical items was not as absolute as he presumed. Her fathers each having an area of expertise was to be expected, given their separate titles and their title as a group. How she learned from them, and why she lacked in one area, was also sensible. "Ah. That's almost sad, but also pretty cool. I mean, you like learning new stuff, right? There's loads of stuff like this out in the world; you'll get to see it all firsthand!" he encouraged. With that said, Charlemagne took up the Holy Grail once more. He wasn't sure if now was the time he wished to visit the Nexus again. In truth, he'd also been considering use of the Nexus to speak with Angelica again. There was much to discuss, much that he couldn't or wouldn't address before. Having Sakura around for that would be awkward, but he wouldn't keep her from the more important things like the Nexus's next questioning. Perhaps he'd just make two trips today. . .

[Apollymi]

Ailen was showing himself to be quite the clever individual. In Yume's case, she'd been less exposed to him before hand and found his assertions to be both insightful and fairly close to the exact truth than most would have been able to come to with just the base information. Her mouth opened in a little 'o' as she quietly assessed that information. "Sugoi, sugoi! I haven't seen that in ages~" said Anais as she saw the genuine surprise and understanding on the girl's face. "What?! I mean it is really good. I mean... I expected brilliance but even by just knowing Mugen-sama and knowing I was summoned that's a pretty perfect summary of it," she said. "Yeah, I was a bit worried about it when he mentioned it, but he said using me as the catalyst he'd get someone good or no one at all... it seemed like a lot of variables, but he seems to understand things pretty differently," Anais mentioned. "Different is about right, I went from a date in the afternoon to... well new world studying," Yume mentioned and Anais's eyes widened. "Oh don't look like that. As a warning that trash is floating around somewhere right now so don't go being too nice if you stumble across him..." Yume warned in a rather straightforward way. In hearing this several things came into understanding in Anais's mind surrounding how she'd gotten here. "Sumimasen, it sounds like it was bad, but you seem pretty much over it..." Anais mentioned. As for Ailen and Anais's friend she could confirm that information. "Hai, Liv is one of our friends and one of our group. She's great! If a little extra abrasive but I don't think you'll have a problem with it, Shishou..." she mentioned. "And you... Mi-chan seem less surprised than you could be, did you get bad vibes and not share?" she asked immedately.

While Charles and Sakura talked the lad listened to what she had to say about her lack of knowledge concerning magical tools. Of course, he seemed to take the information in a very interesting way. He said it was almost sad, that seemed to be connected to the idea that she didn't get to spend as much time with one of her fathers as she did all the others. But he said it was also cool. He noted that she liked learning and as such could learn about things like this orb first hand all on her own and that should be exciting. It was a nice thought and they were kind words. Sakura didn't need comforting, but she liked those words he spoke. They caused a straight warmth within her chest something similar to the excitement she got from talking to her parents, but also very different. "Hai! I do like learning so I look forward to seeing something new. Arigatou gouzaimasu!~" she said seemingly pleased and lightly blushing, yes that was right.

[Bloodedge]

Brilliance, Yume called his realization. Ailen thought it was no such thing. "Hardly so. I've known and learned from him for a very long time. Understanding even some of his methods is a thing of respect, not of my own mental acuity," the elf insisted. Moving on, Anais referred to that friend of hers as 'a little' abrasive. Well, he had no issues with that; he'd grown up around elves after all. "It should prove no issue. There is a certain member of the Myouou who may be considered the same. Perhaps two, actually. . ."

Charlemagne continued mulling over the Holy Grail, wondering if he would by some way overstay a welcome by making multiple trips in a day. Perhaps that would just be something he asked when visiting the second time? Now that he thought about it, Angelica would probably be bothered if he had her called upon twice in one day; she already had to keep herself hidden in the Labyrinth. Indeed, it was probably best to put that part off until later. "So I'm thinking it's best to head there now. There's also something else I want to do, but... that can wait. That probably should wait." Even as he spoke now, Charlemagne was being enveloped by the grail's light. It would be only a matter of moments before everything surrounding him was that familiar blank room, but there would be one oddity. That middle-aged man that had previously been known as the Nexus's physical self, was no longer present. One could look in any and all directions and see nothing, though the sensation remained the same. Perhaps he just didn't manifest visually each time?

[Apollymi]

"Iia, it isn't just that... it's hard to explain though," Yume mentioned. Simply knowing and respecting Mugen wouldn't have been enough to get that kind of understanding out of the situation that spawned her in this world. It was smaller pieces being placed together in the right order that brought along such a conclusion. Yes, that is how she would describe it. As for the rather aggressive question posed to Anais the elafia held up her hands in surrender while looking stunned. "Waah, it's nothing like that at all... well not from what I remember anyway," Anais mentioned giving it a bit more concrete thoughts she gave her observational opinion on the boy known as Miyuki. "In a world without magic, I couldn't say he gave me bad vibes or anything like that..." she said carefully. As she remembered the blonde boy her friend had been dating wasn't aggressive or mean or even directly twofaced or anything like that. In fact if anything he always seemed to be exceedingly nice, except like all the time. "It's just, well as Astolfo put it, I was a midget. And I saw everyone from the perspective of looking up at them while not being seen very often myself. Shirogane-senpai never really relaxed, not even when he was around people he claimed were his friends," she said carefully. "Ulterior motives aren't so easily disguised here as intention radiates when you can feel mana. As a regular human though I could only go by what I saw, and if you can't relax around friends or your girlfriend then... why? It made me a little uneasy, but that could have been me running for student council president against him when he had a full year left that made him that way when I was around," she said with a careful shrug.

Yume looked at her and appreciated that thought pattern, one in which her friend wouldn't have kept her from any happiness she could have found. She also understood why she wouldn't have said anything. It could have potentially been received negatively, with her seeming jealous or even manipulative for trying to point out something that she couldn't have proved. Yume felt she wouldn't have done this, but also knew she was reactive as an existence so she didn't fault her friend for taking the cautious approach. "That is, such a diplomatic answer. But you're right. He definitely had ulterior motives. They probably wouldn't have been considered bad altogether but I don't do manipulative people...it irks me. I also don't like people who believe rumors without confirmation," Yume admitted. And Anais could only nod her head, she ended up extending an arm around the other girl not used to being the bigger person but comforting her anyway. She now had a general idea of what could have happened but wouldn't press for details. As for the other 'abrasive' member of the Myouou, since both girls knew Mugen counted as such, Anais had a pretty good idea about the other one too... if history was to be taken into context, and strangely so did Yume, "It's the Bird Emperor isn't it?" she asked. "Definitely, he's one of my favorite historical figures but I feel like he's super imposing too..." she said. "Just like the little empress used to be~" teased Yume, which once more made Anais blush.

All the while, Charles and Sakura seemed to be moving towards the formation of a plan. What was more she was sure she was experiencing some strange emotion after being encouraged by Charles. She wasn't even sure why it mattered or what she liked about those kinds of words coming from him. Still, she appreciated them and could go on to help him as happily as she always did. In the moment, she'd find the golden light eminating that would take her to the white room of the Nexus. Of course, while being in this room again this day she'd find herself seeming to think it odd that the middle aged man wasn't here but remembered hearing in their earlier conversation that he'd been a disembodied voice. "Char-kun, maybe you should just say something," she added knowing it wouldn't be the oddest thing done here.

[Bloodedge]

Within the Nexus, there was infinite strangeness. The person they would have expected was no longer present. He had been called a previously-disembodied voice, but Charlemagne assumed that was a thing of the past. Alas, Sakura advised that he say something. He wouldn't have the time to do so. "You needn't be confused. The power reserve used to maintain the form you know, has been expended. There is no need to worry," spoke the voice without form. Charlemagne found this manner of speaking... strange, in an almost robotic way. No matter. "... Oh. Alright, that answers whatever questions I had on the confusing side. As for the reason we're here, though... we want to know if it's possible to find the next Holy Grail through you."

For only a few seconds, there was silence. The Nexus had not yet been asked such a thing, but there was indeed a favorable answer to the question. "It is possible," the Nexus said eventually. "I believe you are also curious how Anu manages. I may answer that as well. Anu's method uses the Power of Order in a well-understood manner. As he sees changes to Order as he originally established it, he can see the rifts in fate that may be attributed to my keys, the Holy Grails. You, who have possessed Order for so little a time, could however find the grails as well. I may grant you the power to sense the Nexus's mana as it flows through the world. If you follow it, you will be nearby when the link forms and the child nears its hour of waking."

[Apollymi]

The Nexus was an infinite white space, but as far as Charles and Sakura knew it contained the Animusphere man. According to the disembodied voice though nothing was amiss. The physical form had its energy expended for whatever reason. "Sou ka," Sakura said aloud. Within she wondered if it regenerated naturally or if it would be quite some time before she was able to reappear. Actually, she'd really enjoy the ability to talk to her grandfather or great-grandfather a few more times.

Moving on from this point it seemed that the Nexus had an explanation for how Anu was able to track down the Holy Grails and why the method was only mostly perfect. He looked for things that went against his established order because it was designed by him he could see the inconsistencies. It made sense that there were occasional mistakes with such a method given that there were quite a few things that could be considered against Anu's established order, Charles's elafia friend being one of them, potentially anyway. Even so, Charles only had this particular power for less than a day, but apparently the Nexus could give him a workaround for trying to find the thing he was looking for. "Ah, a sensory ability might be nice," Sakura confirmed. She could see its usefulness. There was also something she considered a bit more practical, though she wasn't really sure if it was or not. If they had a timeframe to work with it would also narrow down any inconsistencies and help them get where they needed to be in a timely manner.

[Bloodedge]

Charlemagne had his answer, and it was even easier than he expected. He could be led essentially directly to the next Holy Grail, though he and the others would have to follow some trail to do so. That was fine by him. "Sounds like an adventure. We can use the time spent traveling to train and be ready for the battle. That is, as long as everyone is willing to go on a journey for uh..." Now that he thought about it, Charlemagne wasn't 100% sure about the time this would take.

Luckily, the Nexus had many answers. "Roughly two years, it will take. In two years, the child will be complete. The trail will be stronger to you as the moment encroaches. Once you leave this place, your senses will include its energies," the Nexus answered. Charlemagne hadn't expected such incredible ease, but there was another question on his mind as well. "Cool. One more thing I want to know is whether I can keep calling someone to this room or not," he said, which prompted an immediate response from the Nexus. "Of course. The summoning you witnessed before is something you are just as capable of, so long as there is a connection between you."

What a perfect answer that was. Even more than before, Charlemagne was sure he'd be returning the next day. For now though, he'd take solace in knowing the plan for this new group's adventure. So... he looked toward Sakura once more. "That's it then. I was thinking about taking a walk, or just relaxing until everyone's ready. Interested in either of those? Or... maybe you wanted to do something different?"

[Apollymi]

According to the Nexus the journey ahead of this group would be approximately 2 years. This wasn't a very long time in the grand scheme of things, to Sakura it was longer than her present life time, but she didn't care how long such a thing took. She was here for this and to fully meet the other goddess. After all the necessary information was given, Sakura could be happy knowing that all would be well. Moving on from this point and whatever other plans Charles was making to summon someone here again, she was pleased. Charles spoke of maybe taking a walk or relaxing and that was an interesting thought, "I'd enjoy a walk or just relaxing. I've never been to this level of the world before so I'd like having a look around while I think about the skill I'm working on," she said looking to Charles and extending her hand. "I'd also like to hear about your friends, I'm curious..." she mentioned knowing she didn't know so much about him but figuring he likely wouldn't just talk about himself. She decided it might be better to extrapolate from extra information. What kind of people did he trust? Who did he build his bonds with? What kinds of things did they all enjoy? These were interesting things to consider.

[Bloodedge]

Sakura had an interest in both things mentioned. With her specification of being new to the upper part of this world, Charlemagne figured it would be beneficial to both of them if a little walk was taken. That extended hand was taken, and he looked out toward the empty space of the Nexus. "Then I'll show you around. This is one of the best places to be in Chaldea; I think you'll like the scenery," he said. Only a few more words would be spoken within the Nexus, and they were for the Nexus itself. "Thanks for the info. I'll be back later."

With that, the whiteness around them faded. They would be immediately returned to Charlemagne's room in the sanctum. They could go for a walk, though Charlemagne wondered why it was his friends Sakura was curious about. "My friends? Well... alright. I'll tell you whatever you want to know. Let's get going," he urged while taking steps toward the room's exit. If anywhere was to be first on the list, it had to be the sanctum's primary courtyard. As such, he led down that winding staircase they so recently ascended. "Why that, though?"

[Apollymi]

It seemed that Charles was pretty excited by the prospect of showing her around and Sakura found such excitement infectious. "It sounds fun," she said as calmly as she always spoke but she still seemed rather pleased. She kept up her movements as they found themselves leaving the Nexus with thanks issued. "See you later," she offered the Nexus not knowing how long it would be before she returned but still being a rather respectful person. Inside of Charles room the lad was already pulling her forward and she was eagerly joining him, passing out of the room descending the stairs and headed towards the outside.

As they moved he claimed he'd tell her what she wished to know but he did express some curiosity about why she was interested in his friends. She obviously had several reasons for this, and the first of them was rather simple. "I'm interested in your friends because they're your friends. I don't have any of my own," she mentioned this strange and slightly sad fact like it was empty but that was simply how she was. "Besides how other people interact is always interesting and you're interesting so, the people you are close to are interesting to me too.." she said as a strange bit of logic she shared with at least one of her fathers. She kept up her pace as she looked around and her eyes were studying the whole of this place. Whoever created it had done an amazing job, the architecture was truly gorgeous.
