Listening to his dear friends view on the young man, granted the elvhen a rather interesting insight into the boy that perhaps he would never want nor willingly share on his own. As evidenced by the obvious and growing frustration the more he conversed with Compassion, not that he could entirely blame the young elven for such emotion, his own body was being used against him after all and he had learnt all too recently how annoying that could be for everyone else involved. Listening to June chuckle about it even as the thought passed through his mind, didn't help either. In fact it only made the other snapping at him even worse. Just what had he gotten himself into with this one?
[color=#008e02]"It is a relief to hear there are others falon, even if they are faint to you. Though Syalise is but a fragment of what she should be, I have spoken with her already, that she hides is a smart choice. Are there many spirits such as you within Arlathan, I have seen so few willing to converse with me, it has been a shame."[/color]
Knowledge used to be easily gained when it could not be found in a tome simply by being polite and asking questions of the spirits that wandered so freely wherever he went so long ago, now it seemed it was taking a little longer for everything to fall into place. Likely due to the state of the world and perhaps the suddenness with which the Veil had been brought down? He could not be sure on that. Yet again, he heard Ruth speaking and inevitably trying to get a rise out of him to no effect, had he the care to do so he might have even rolled his eyes at the boy. Instead he merely answered his previous insistence, given it seemed to agitate him so.
[color=#008e02]"I do not believe I need to explain my relationship with Sylaise to you, if it helps ease your mind any, I have already met her and the one that holds her consciousness and I do not intend to do anything to them. Only help should they ask."[/color] A reassurance given, even if it was not believed, in truth if Sylaise wished for his aid in due time then he would do as much as he could to assist her. Nevermind the fact that June would likely not allow him to refuse granting whatever she may seek. As a friend, one of the few he had found still living, he would not cast her aside carelessly.
[color=#008e02]"So I have noticed, I will not take much more of your time ma falon. I know you said such traces are faint, but do you know if there is any word of Fen'harel? I have not dared to look but I.."[/color] Words he did not finish, did not need to, he suspected Compassion might already feel more than enough of his pain on the matter to know what he was speaking of. Of the doubt, of the concern for the one he had insisted sleep, and of the countless unanswered questions he had.
