"If you insist." Then she would simply drop it. She knew well enough when one had already made their mind up about something and she hardly knew him well enough to argue. Even if she had, she more than likely wouldn't have put up too much of a fight. He took responsibility for his own inadequacy, his own faults, and she could respect that. There were certain things she would not budge on herself, so what right did she have to push others?
"That's a shame. It seems this system brings quite a bit more strife with it than good." If one could even really consider any good coming of it besides the chance to speak to some mythical or historical figure of old. After all he'd said there was no proof the entire wish thing would actually come to be. It seemed like such a lot of pain and fighting to happen all over something that might be real. Unfortunately, given her experiences with her own grandfather's research she knew all too well the lengths people would go to search out even the impossible. If there was even a hint of some greater power many would throw everything they had into uncovering it. The cost often mattered little and the collateral damage seemed even less important. It really was a shame to hear that was the case even in an entirely different world with entirely different rules.
"Ah. That does make sense. Though I imagine it must be quite difficult in some cases to find something tied to that spirit and that spirit alone." With that example she could certainly see how accidents might happen. The entire thing did seem like it had quite a potential for rather large messes. She frowned. "That seems like something of a shame. It's a partnership. Treating it any other way seems rather disrespectful to the summoned spirit." She shook her head and sighed. "Forgive me for saying so, but it all seems rather tiresome." The more he spoke on it the more she felt mildly grateful that Artemisia was simply a representation. Perhaps she could have learned from her, but at what cost?
