“Nothing we could guess.” That statement she said with the utmost confidence. If this creator was after their version of perfection, it would not be something they could understand. It would have to be something deeply personal to them and as such, deeply specific. To her it felt as though there was no way they could ever theorize what that might be. Certainly not with as little information as they had about this creator. So, she moved on with him away from theories and the frustrations that surrounded them.
"What would yours have been?" Perhaps it was a bit bold of her to simply ask the question outright, but sometimes curiosity forced boldness out of even the most polite people. Regardless, she showed no signs of regret when it came to having asked. This was an exchange of information, wasn't it? It only made sense for the question to come up at some point.
"I'm certain we will have the time," she gave him a smile at that. They had nothing but time here after all. "So the summoning isn't based on some sort of pre-established compatibility between personality traits or goals?" That seemed...odd and even more dangerous. How precisely were they chosen then? Simply based on capability to be team? "Do the mages choose who they are trying to summon or is it random who one is placed with after the ritual?" While there were certainly similarities between her own world and his, there were so many differences in this that it was hard for her to not ask a million questions. "Is it based solely on whomever has enough mana to match with some spirit?" If that was the case then was the spirit stronger if the mage was stronger?
"I can only imagine how impactful that could be. Depending upon the spirit you could learn so many things from them. I could only imagine what questions I could have answered from Artemisia herself." She had ben known as a tactician and commander, perhaps she could have learned from her. Or at the very least perhaps she could have better prepared for how to deal with the weight of that kind of responsibility.
"I see. At least their name is descriptive." That seemed like it might make things a lot easier in terms of knowledge. She furrowed he brows at that. "How odd that it's never been completed. Then there's no proof that it it even works?"
