“The rate at which it changes seems to be quite fast, based upon that and a few things I’ve been told by others since arriving… Makes one wonder.” He murmured, more to himself. Harry had suggested a cycle, one that likely was broken if the Void Cryst was at the heart of it… So how fast things should be changing, if they should be changing like this at all, was a curious thing. If it was trying to catch up to where it should be, to rebuild itself, or if it was meant to be more gradual… He found himself puzzling over that as much as his own puzzles.

That said, if he noted Mitsuru’s hesitation in responding concerning Tartarus? He either hadn’t noticed, or his own curiosity on the subject was great enough that he simply put it aside for now in favor of being nosy. It was a problem at the end of the day. One that made him rather unpopular with other mages, since he could never quite help to ask or digging into subjects that might be better left to secrecy. “No need to apologize, but I would be interested in hearing more about it. It’s a curious name to use.” He responded with a vague explanation for his interest, at least.

“Ah, I see. I’ll keep that in mind when I reach out to them, then…” He responded to the correction, musing to himself over the detail. A different faction, perhaps? That was common in mage society. Perhaps it was something of a similar nature as well in other worlds for people with similar abilities. A similar power, but with a different way of doing things… It was good to hear that at least one of this other group would be open to sharing. Made him wonder about the others, though. “Thank you, miss. You’ve been most helpful this evening.” He added with a brief, appreciative smile.

“It’s too elaborate a setup to be simply that. Targeting Lords of the Clock Tower is not uncommon, and where some are concerned, it can easily be done without pulling them somewhere so out of the ordinary or strange. And certain… complications had been revealed before my arrival.” He wasn’t sure he could explain more than that, considering the subject of heroic spirits and the complicated system they followed… Or did not follow in this situation… So he nodded at the statement. It wasn’t something he could or would deny. “It’s very frustrating, for all the speculating I could do on the subject, it will do little good while here. Though I am sure that there are many of us frustrated with being brought here in the first place.”
