[mysterium_npc]

[At around 1pm Elias and Taylor can be found in the drawing room, along with an older gentleman with iron gray hair, a hawkish nose, and wire-rimmed spectacles. He is smoking a pipe which he seems to be in the habit of tapping nervously against the palm of his hand

[The smile he receives from Elias is, admittedly, a bit of a surprise to Allen, who thus far had pegged the older gentleman for the type who found the boy to be... not intolerable or irritating, as such, but certainly someone he lacks patience for. This is, to Allen's mind, the first thing that has made him question that.

His expression softens a little, the small weak smile becoming something a bit more assured and genuine as he nods.]

I think optimism would be a better direction to head in right now, as you say. I will keep that in mind. [A beat passes, then he adds:] My apologies if I came across as sharp or rude, Professor.

It seems that, really, we are in as good a position as we could possibly hope for here. With this in mind, and regarding everything you've said thus far, I do think we'll need to have faith in all of you that you will do the best you can, as you say you will. [His expression becomes a little firmer then, more determined.] But having blind faith and just expecting you to do that for us isn't enough. You're asking us for help while we're here and while you work to find us a way home. I'll help.
