is this a natural feeling or is it just me bleeding?
There were far too many shortcomings of that once-home, and buried in books and scrolls was always better than the crowds. The medical side of it wasn't terrible at all, and Lasairian did feel good over what he had learned that gave him an edge here as a medic, but so much of that had been studies as well. Lasairian had been taught to be social, and he did not think he was terrible at it, but one on one encounters were always better than being in a crowd.
There was beauty and charm in this place anyway, though. The marketplace may hold some interest, but as always the library held more. Much more. Yet Lasairian is amused at her words and the sheer fact that it was true enough; this place was the least likely he might have expected to encounter someone napping in. He shrugs at her words, the barest rolling of his shoulders, because she's right and he has no comeback for it.
She was speaking of travel and he listened attentively, curious of where she had come from and why here was where she decided to land, of all places. One thing at a time, of course, so he stored the questions for later moments and nodded his head to her, thinking that it was lucky indeed that he had met another who was so fond of the library. "I do very much enjoy learning new things, and there are often worlds of knowledge within books," he said, explaining his side of it.
The silence mattered too, yes, but even in a place like this, Lasairian wouldn't look past trying to read something new and exciting if it was presented to him. Cassilyn seemed happy with the idea of being escorted to the library now, and was soon asking if they should face the crowd once more. Lasairian looked out at the masses and took a deep breath, "yes, into the fray we go," he responded, stepping up beside her as she started forward.
With Cassilyn asking where the library was, Lasairian answered easily, "Delumine, the Northern-most side of the forest there, in the Dawn Court. The trees come together to form walls, hallways, rooms and shelves. It feels almost endless in there with the books," was how he decided to answer. And then, "where do you hail from, if I may ask?" because she might not wish to speak of it, and if so, he would respect that, too.
