[In the evening, Blade can be found out in the central field. He's sitting on the top level of the amphitheater, gazing up at the cloudy sky. His vision of the stars may be obscured, but he's trying to find them anyway.]
Two constellations should be sufficient for navigating...
[He falls quiet when he notices Anaxa is nearby though, and changes to another thought.]
[ As for Anaxagoras, he's taken to wandering - ergo, he will find himself in the same area eventually, feeling keen to finally slow his steps to take in his surroundings properly.
...It's a pity the sky is clouded, obscuring what must be a sky full of information in of itself. But perhaps as the days go by, that will change. Food for thought (he never seems to stop thinking such things.)
Such that when he hears the other speak this, he turns his head towards him. ]
...I don't think it's impossible. That said, am I wrong that it appears we may have been of the same mind?
After all, if we can locate what types of constellations lie in the night sky, there can be much to tell.
[ He's almost a little nostalgic. Anaxagoras used to have his reasons for liking to gaze upon the night sky himself, actually... ]
[ Even back in Amphoreus, it was fairly common to navigate a many place at night by the light of the constellations in the sky, even if in the end the truths enlightened the true matter behind its existence.
Here, he doesn't have his a telescope. He even wonders how his students are doing...but, ah well. ]
It is not only an 'amazing' feat, but it is entirely possible one.
Though, such a notion is something that still is hard for many back on Amphoreus to comprehend...perhaps it's more common and acceptable these days, however.
Now, while we're on the subject of different worlds, I hadn't realized this person was from another world than your own? Although, he somehow came to yours...?
Anaxagoras is trudging himself away from the excitement immediately, but somehow he ends up nearby the well at some point. As he is just about to move past it, he sees a certain someone... ]
[Blade isn't exactly hard to find. He's sitting on the porch of the boarding house, silently watching everyone who comes and goes. His expression is unusually neutral for him, and the palm of one of his hands is covered in drying blood.
Anaxa earns a glance when he is close, but he otherwise gets no reaction.]
[ It may be an odd expression, though one he recognizes nonetheless. One that means there is something like a tension within the lack of emotion. But, when did he get blood all over his hand...? ]
...Blade.
How about we take a walk?
[ Maybe he can manage two birds with one stone. Get him moving so that he isn't like a statue, and also make sure that hand of his is cleaned up. The kitchen isn't too far away but it's enough to maybe start with helping clearing someone's head. ]
Anaxagoras will lead him into the kitchen - thereupon doing so, he will go ahead and grab some napkins, wetting them with water - or whatever soap that so happens to be around, and then looking at Blade, he will ask: ]
[After the town hall, Blade heads into some location to get out of the cold. He is really hoping that tomorrow brings better weather and a better effect.
Once he's inside he sees Anaxa there though, and he'll go over to interrupt him in whatever he is doing.]
I have everything from the meeting coded into my memory, so we can refer back to it later if need be.
[That is not what he wants to talk to Anaxa about, but it's a way to get the conversation going.]
[ It's frigid as ever, enough to cast a chill to the bone. Anaxagoras himself finds that he isn't inclined to liking the freeze, already having wandered back towards the sitting room. He places down a book he was about to read, turning to look at Blade curiously. ]
You recorded everything? That is rather convenient.
[ There is a slight tilt of his head as he considers Blade. ]
Anything regarding it, or other matters on your mind?
It just seems kind of hopeless now. If nothing we do at a trial matters, then we have to focus on stopping people from killing. And if people are transforming, then that's out of our control too.
[He frown thoughtfully.]
Han-Han was telling me I should tell everyone about my past, but I think it's not such a good idea anymore.
The more answers we find, the better methods we can discover in order to come up with a way to prevent either. Trust me when I say we still have a fighting chance.
[ Anaxagoras affirms, but with actual severity in his tone - optimistic, maybe. But he likes to think there's realism in there as well. ]
...Now, what made you change your mind about going around and telling your past? Granted, I can understand not telling everyone, exactly. But, you seemed to have had the same opinion as Hansa.
[ He is curious nonetheless. There are things he hasn't had the opportunity to learn about when it comes to Blade. ]
Anaxagoras is taking the time for a walk, and heading to the relaxation nook. He is not proud of losing his cool for (1) second, but he has mellowed out to the extent a difficult man like him can. Enough happened and he is not about making it about himself.
Then, he spots a familiar face after he blinks a couple of times. ]
[Blade is sitting on the floor in the relaxation nook with a pile of books at his side. He stares at the pages unblinkingly, looking at each page for about three seconds before flipping to the next. As to what purpose remains to be seen, but he seems determined with what he is doing.
He does stop when Anaxa calls out to him though, and he looks up from his book.]
[ A nod to acknowledge the greeting. Anaxagoras comes on over more to see about viewing the pile of books closely with a critical eye, attempting to see if he might recognize their contents by viewing their titles or any words on pages as he does so.
He is surprised, though it certainly isn't by a bad sense. ]
I did.
...What are you studying?
[ He settles himself down. There is sense in keeping on working; a perfect way to focus one's mind. ]
[Anaxa also gets Blade in a maid dress, because that's what he's wearing today.
Anyway he's got several soot sprites in his apron and he has brought them too the wishing well. Also worth noting, but Blade looks significantly better than he did all last week.]
It's okay little guys, I'm just sending you on a trip to see our friends! It will be fine~
[Without nightmares plaguing him he actually has it in him to enjoy the little things in life. Like adorable little creatures that can do no wrong. And a maid dress with a slit so long it shows off his entire left leg if he moves in it.]
[ The French Restaurant is a place Anaxagoras has certainly been before...it is hardly a surprise that he eventually finds himself there once more, but then witnesses Blade being quite busy.
Around this time, one of those papers float in...because of course there so happens to be that silly little thing this week.
But before it lands at anyone's feet, Anaxagoras will address this: ]
Are you preparing for a fight, Blade?
[ While others might be concerned, he sees this actually as pragmatic. ]
[ Why not take eight? Well, jokes aside, Anaxagoras does not take a knife himself.
Maybe it is because he seems to be carrying something on his side now despite probably the difficulty to see it mostly because clothing style (guess what it is) ]
Being armed is simply pragmatic. We already know this place is full of unknowns. Personally I believe there are good chances we'll be fine - but we should be ready for the just in case.
[ The piece of paper that flew in also falls down. A wish that a complete and good resolution to the situation will be before them in a blink of an eye. ]
