Caisides smile grew more genuine when he saw how pleased his offer of help had made the silver haired man. It had never been in his personality to wallow in things, He had had his moment, now it was time for some kind of action. Luckily for him, his new companion offered a solution that had Caiside intrigued. Being a part of something devoted to knowledge sounded almost perfect.
”I think I would enjoy something like that. I have been a part of many things in the past, but never a group dedicated to knowledge.” Having a focus, and like minded people to work with would keep him happy. Experience had him wary of joining something without details, or knowledge of how this would affect other alliances. Of course he liked the lore keeper, and appreciated his kindness and offer, but that wasn’t quite the same as trust. “Perhaps we could make introductions first? I am used to working alone, in my own way. I wouldn’t want to be an intrusion instead of an asset.” The words were close enough to truth that it was easy to say, an apologetic smile flitting across Caisides face in accompaniment.
It felt awkward to leave it there, so Caiside continued after a beat of silence. ”I think I should get settled in somewhat as well. Perhaps speak with that master you mentioned, and get some simpler work done first.” Again, the words were mostly truth, close enough this time that Caiside convinced himself. Working with his hands and not his head could be for the best, considering the circumstances. It was easy for a man to get obsessed with the impossible that way.
