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. ]
[The stack is mostly books about magic, with a couple about illnesses as well. Blade holds up the one he is reading so Anaxa can see the cover, which says "the art of transforming".]
It's not what I'm looking for I don't think, this is about magic spells that allow people to transform into animals.
[ Anaxagoras peers at the literature closely - and he hums to himself at this. Something else comes to mind, just the same.
He has no clue what Blade is trying to search for, but maybe he is attempting to learn more information about their situation. ]
...I may have a recommendation, as long as you continue looking. If you are searching for books that can help illuminate us on what's going on, to try to see if you might find one dealing with 'cycles' 'loops' 'wishes' - or something to that effect.
Of course, there is also the option of "historical events" as well. Something amongst the nonfiction that may contain slivers of hidden knowledge - whether inadvertently to illnesses or otherwise.
[He knows of that at least, even if he has never done time magic himself. It's taboo for a reason, and he's already a taboo just for existing.]
Historical events could work too. I'll have to go back to the library for those.
[He shuts the book in his hand and sets it aside, only to replace it with another. This time though he is just looking through the table of contents to see if they mention anything about cycles, loops, or wishes.]
Time magic is a similar comparison. Even that in its primal state was everpresent in my world - beyond the concept of loops, to be exact. Though, of course, it was not something that could be easily wielded.
[ Oronyx represented time, among other things. Though he did not care for the Titans, he still had the required knowledge surrounding their meanings and what they meant. ]
...To search another place for that would be wise. The library is bound to hold far more variety in that regard. Though, perhaps the sitting room may hold such information as well.
[ Saying this primly as the other goes ahead in picking up another book. Hopefully there is something telling in there, and if not, there are other venues to check. ]
