Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap

He noticed the sag in her shoulders, and how it permeated her voice as well. Nodding, he walked towards and through the door, stopping to hold it for her as well. As soon as they exited the place, he took a deep breath and turned back towards her. “Since I’m finally free to leave the building the other once called home, perhaps I could offer to walk you home? I feel as though it has been a long day for you, and some relaxing company may be in order.” Thoughts from the field drifted into his mind, but he didn’t entertain them for long. No, that was something to be kept in the blades of grass and not here, among the stones of the city. They were just friends here, nothing more.

"...Thanks." The redhead woman replied to his offer with a slight nod. She indeed felt drained, though she wasn't sure what he would be wanting to talk about on the way. There was over a district of distance to cross before reaching her apartment again, too long of a distance to cross in silence without it turning either awkward or sad with how things were going for everyone that day.

“It would be my pleasure,” Lasair said kindly, offering her a worn-out smile as they left the shop, walking beside each other now. So much had happened in the recent days, it was beginning to become difficult to sort it all out. So much had happened today alone, it was hard to believe it wasn’t half past midnight or some other obscure time. But no, the sun was still shining above them and the people still traveling among them. Funny how people could live their lived without knowing the sorts of things that were happening within the lives of others.
But as they traveled, it seemed that Edelweiss’ exhaustion applied to her ability to create conversation. That was alright, Lasair could handle that now that he was free to dismiss the thoughts of Sayvahn. He couldn’t completely remove the blond from his mind, but a rest from thinking in circles about him was needed. “Do you often read books for enjoyment, rather than work or research?” he asked, hands in his pockets as his face was squinting, trying to make out the things ahead of them despite the bright sun.

"I must guiltly admit my researches are, depending on the case, also for my personal enjoyment and curiosity," She stated with a bit of a half-smile on her lips, amusement barely winning over the emotional exhaustion. "But yes, I like reading as a pasttime. Do I take it you too?"

He allowed a tiny smile to come to his face as she admitted her enjoyment of books. “I must admit that I usually don’t enjoy reading anything besides my work. The stories just never seemed to captivate me and absorb my attention like the magic ones do. I suppose it would help if ander-focused books were actually published instead of constantly set aside. But that’s besides the point.” He took another few steps before speaking up again. “Do you, perhaps, have any recommendations?”

"Unfortunately, books on magic are not something I often put my hands on (except for what we're wonking on)." She shrugged lightly. "But if what you want is literature with mentions of it, even if not 100% accurate, you could find plenty in the classics. Like the Argonauts (more specifically the story of Medea in it), and the tales of Arthur and The Knights Of The Round Table - Morgan was pretty interesting as a magic user, not only Merlin."

He nodded to the books she mentioned, repeating the names in his head to help himself remember them for another day. If he could find some copies without difficulty, then perhaps he would read them. But also perhaps not. It would depend, as it usually did.
They continued walking towards her apartment, peaceful conversation drifting between them. They didn’t talk about a whole lot; just books, some light business, and magic. Lots of magic. It was always the topic between them. The teenage boy, Jasper, disappeared at some point during the journey. But they didn’t mind, he had work to do and Edelweiss had sleep to catch.
Finally coming to the building she lived in, Lasair continued walking until he came to her door, standing in the hallway for a few moments as she found the key and opened it. “Thank you, for today. A lot has happened and well, I’m happy you could be there to help and be a part of it all.” He smiled lightly, however it didn’t stay on his face long. And with those parting words (as well as a hug that Edel wanted) Lasair turned to leave then, to find some corner of HQ to crawl into and comprehend everything that’s been going on.
