[ Why bother with that? So we can go be dead somewhere else?

A frown like a flinch crosses Cedrik's features. There and gone in an instant.

...it wouldn't be so bad, to return to where he's supposed to be. The aetherial sea may erode his memories over time, but from there he could be reborn...

Yes. It's a worthy goal, D has settled on. ]

Agreed. Whatever secrets we find can only lead us closer to the whole truth. And the sooner we begin, the better.

[If he notices the flinch, he at least doesn't call Cedrik out on it. King of staying in his own lane.]

Were you planning on searching by yourself?

[Truly, he isn't trying to shove himself into the equation or get in Cedrik's way. (He knows Cedrik would probably never say he's getting in the way, silly bun). And he typically does everything alone; of course he does.

But if they wanted to compare notes...]

[ And here Cedrik was trying to hint that he'd welcome D's company. He'll have to be more obvious.

The moment of Shadowy discomfort is nudged aside, Cedrik taking on a warm and slightly self-deprecating grin. ]

This may come as a surprise to you, D, but I'm not actually much of a scholar... Whenever I've delved into libraries before, it's always been with friends of mine who are. If nothing else, a second set of eyes ensure that nothing of import is missed.

[Cedrik truly puts up with so much from D. He gets the implication and understands finally the invitation offered to him.

It’s just surprising when very rarely was his company ever received without fear and prejudice. Even people immediately infatuated by his looks understood it wasn’t natural at all, that it was frightening.]

I’ll meet you there another time when you’re free then. So you have someone to help you turn the pages.

[A… joke…?!]

[heavenstorn]

[ Yeah...Cedrik is kind of dumb like that. Even before offering D his friendship, he had decided D was a good person. In fact he came to that conclusion almost immediately after striking up a conversation. That's all that matters to Cedrik. That's all that should matter to anyone.

His mouth opens in surprise at D's reply--and then he laughs, brief but warm as he leans back in his seat. ]

You are most kind! We have an agreement. I will send word over the Netherwork when the time is right.

[ It's a date? ]
