Seiji is pleased as Jigano speaks of the Atheneum, fondness shining through in his voice. The closest thing I have to a home. In him, Seiji senses something of a kinship, a similar spirit. Seiji's dark eyes roam the room, the rows of books, the sense of age pervading the vast space. "It will come," he says softly, referring to his memory. He knows enough, he thinks. Enough to keep moving forward. He must believe this, or be undone.
When Amalia approaches, she does so hesitantly, and it reminds Seiji of the luxere present the first time they met. His voice is kind when he answers her greeting. "I am glad to see you again, too, Amalia." He gives her a small nod, remembering the way she had laughingly mimicked his bow the first time. He thinks he senses still a sadness in her, as if she fears rebuke for every action, even for being present. The people of Caido have been so friendly thus far Seiji cannot understand it, but he hopes to make her as welcome as he can whenever he finds them sharing company.
With a nod, Seiji lets his eyes flick over each of them, pleasantly surprised to learn they are both Loreseekers, themselves. It will be easier to speak with people he knows. "I am looking for information," he explains. "As much as I can find. About... Caido. I want to learn everything I can about the world. I was hoping the Loreseekers could help me, or... I could help them, maybe, if they seek knowledge. I can read, and also write. I am learning how to fight. So I can explore this place. Also, I came to ask what is done with the dead, here. My friend lost someone over Longnight and I think it will help her to mourn him the way people do here." Falling silent, he awaits a response before continuing farther. His questions are many, and he cannot be sure how any answers they have,or how much time.
