Scar possibly couldn't have been more thrilled at the prospect of being escorted to the library. He had visited this particular room plenty of times to know that it was entirely useless and uninteresting - like most daytime activities, for that matter. Still, the nurse seemed rather convinced he'd like one of those silly books filled with papers

Still, they were facts, and Roderich was going to have to acknowledge that eventually, even if he didn't want to. Zack wondered if it might be better for them to take a seat after all, to sort through all this, but it was starting to look like the shift was nearing its end. In that case, he'd just have to explain as much as he could before the nurses broke them up.
"In a sense, yeah," he agreed. "Or, Landel can at least take people from different points and then bring them here, causing their times to clash." Or something like that. In his case, the fact that he'd died made it even more complicated, but he wasn't going to bring something like that up now. If he did, chances were Roderich would just term him legitimately crazy and leave it at that.
"I don't know if you were here when the doors were acting up, but I actually ended up back home then... except that it was years and years in the future." So much had been different, and so much still needed to be explained to him. Zack hoped he could track Cloud down soon.

Had he decided to believe all of this without any ounce of doubt it would make sense in that regard. However, the aristocrat just couldn't bring himself to rely on this 'convenient' scapegoat, where the reasoning was far beyond otherworldly. While one could claim that his own existence was beyond most reasoning, it would've been nothing more than the ignorant assumptions of a human being. Those were simply facts he'd known, where the idea of 'nations' weren't supposed to be knowledge shared among the public.
"So it can be as simple as opening a door? Really?" However, before he could ask anything else aside from reciting what Zack said, the intercom abruptly came to life. Listening to the message, Austria sighed before readjusting his glasses.
"I suppose that is the end of it for now."

While that was stubborn, it was also understandable. Some of this stuff was just so crazy that he wouldn't have wanted to deem it true if he hadn't heard it from very trusted friends.
"Well, it was just that one night that the doors were..." He started to explain, but the intercom cut in, ending their conversation before it could really come to a proper end. Zack felt bad that he wouldn't be able to give this guy the full explanation, but he also knew there were others around who could probably detail it better if asked.
"Seems that way, yeah," he agreed. "It was nice talking to you," he added sincerely as he moved away from the shelf, cradling the book in one arm. "Thanks for the help, though I'm not sure if I returned the favor very well." Which he felt bad about, but there wasn't much he could do.
At that point the nurses chose to come over, and so Zack moved away with a wave, hoping that the polite man would be okay despite all of his confusion about their situation.
