[Well. That's certainly an ending to a conversation... and one, while he wants to steer the direction of, appears to have ended on quite a sad note.

But there is something he can offer. While hardly helping the situation, perhaps it can take Elidibus' mind off it for a few hours...]

[The offer, when made, is given some thought. Elidibus had long watched mortals and, perhaps better than Hythlodaeus, understood why they found joy in working with their hands beyond the need to simply sustain themselves.

Academically speaking, anyway. And fleeting moments of respect for those who did their very best within their limitations. ]

I would. If nothing more it would serve to pass the time. I find myself feeling as if I have too much to spare, of late.

[One world and three nations is by leaps and bounds fewer responsibilities than he has been accustomed to in millennia.

But not because he's interested in mortals and their whimsy really. It would be nice to know more of Hythlodaeus. He will not say that.]

[Whether it is said or not, the feeling is mutual.

They were linked once, of course- yet interaction was hardly part of the somewhat fleeting affair. It was more the complete surrender of themselves, to join a far greater whole. Their selves were simply not part of it. Not to mention that circumstances had meant that Elidibus had not been at all inclined to cease his duty in death- exiting rather quickly, all considered.]

[The mornings Elidibus spends telling stories to the children. The afternoons are largely free. ]

I will be home in the afternoon then. Pray let me know if there is aught I can acquire.

[Which he will be assured to pick up on the way back to help.]
