Elide
A glimmer of understanding reflects in Elide's gaze before she trails ahead. She listens intently as Kiada explains how she had been unable to get what she needed in light of other factors, other elements getting in the way of her goal. "Quests often seem to go that way, don't they?" She murmurs in reflection of it, pausing as she considers a turn in the trail before determining that it's the right way. "There's always going to be something unplanned for..." she would sigh, should she have the need for such a breathy motion. Instead, she remains stoic throughout except for the falter of her steps as she speaks - the only inclination of her thoughtfulness.
A bit of relief breaks through her clouds of self-doubt at Kiada's reassurance. She tilts her head and looks over her shoulder at the other woman, offering a small half-smile. "These are the sort of things I wondered about as a child. It's the reason I decided to devote my life to... science, research. I wanted to know the way everything works. But of course..." she looks back down and continues to head off, "magic and logic do not usually intertwine. When rules are changed at a moment's notice, through godly intervention or otherwise... it's difficult to make sense of."
Elide has no issue with holding this conversation, especially now that it's taken more of a philosophical edge - that's her language, after all. But their voices will fade into the depths of the jungle and they'll eventually return to Halo with the materials that were needed.

I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire
for something beyond the daily life
