Naesala was leafing through a tome about a few shelves down, skimming with determination and curiosity as to what Paixao's history was. Any large cities such as this one had to have some sort of historical archive in this place. It was ridiculous to even assume that the city just appeared out of thin air. As much as anyone else trapped in this complicated cage, this laguz had hoped to learn something solid and concrete.

The book he had was a documented study into the science of magic--in other words not quite what he was interested in. This wasn't the first he'd felt that he'd been wasting time. I seem to get a lot more information outside than I ever would in here, he mulled to himself, feeling quite bored ( ... )

Remus had not been expecting anyone to speak to him, and he hadn't noticed anyone come up behind him either, as he was too focused on his own work. He jumped and spun around, instinctively reaching for his wand in his pocket, but not bringing it out. He was in a library, and the voice didn't sound threatening enough for that anyway.

He did hesitate to speak when he saw the large wings on the man's back. It was odd enough that he had blue hair, but that? Well, it couldn't be too far-fetched, considering there were talking lions, half-wolves, and other strange things inhabiting the city. "You've got that right." Remus rubbed the back of his neck. "There's nothing to find on the heartless and other monsters seen around here either."

Naesala felt a grin of amusement coming on--to see the him hesitate--but he restrained it to a simple smile. As pleasantly surprising it was to make others pause in his presence in a world apart from Tellius, he would rather await more opportunities to make more friends than allies.

"I was only curious about its architecture... The mysteries keep piling up for the rumors to grow. Meanwhile, anything down to the simplest of things about the city might be under lock and key elsewhere." He did not sound very frustrated, but rather disappointed.

Naesala pulled out a nearby chair and sat in it. He propped his knee high boots on the table. Since he might as well join this human for company, he might as well make himself as comfortable as he'd like. "What of these--Heartless, was it? What manner of form are they? The ones who make you squint to see better? The ones that lurk in the shadows...? All I know is that they are trouble. Some of them I've fought in the sky."

"I'm sure the architecture is a result of magic. I can't see the citizens around here doing anything more than being shopkeepers." Remus closed the small drawer to the card catalog. He had quite a few more to rummage through, but he had a strong feeling he wouldn't find anything helpful. He pulled up a chair himself, turning it and straddling the seat, resting his arms and head on the back.

"All I know about the heartless is that they're shadows that are summoned by people with darkness in their hearts. Whatever that means. They're also pretty dangerous. A friend and I got too close to a place where a lot of them come from, and we barely made it out in one piece." Remus wouldn't be forgetting that experience any time soon. He wouldn't be going anywhere near City Hall either. Not unless he had a damned good reason and plenty of people with him for back up.

"Aha. Then it's certainly no magic I'm familiar with," he commented. "And now that you mention it, I've seen not one of those humans do much hard labor at all..." They really are pathetic, he mused to himself. Yes, this made sense to the raven.

"The creator of Paixao must be quite a mage."

Naesala listened with undivided attention and interest as the boy shared his experience with the living shadows in combat. "And the creatures of light are the 'Lumens', correct? I heard a little about them, but never had to tear through those beasts as I did with the heartless." He sounded fairly relaxed as he had thought about his recent encounters with some of the flying shadows. "To what I've seen, the heartless are indeed stronger in swarming numbers. I perch high from their reach when they gather and assemble by the hundreds. It doesn't make much of a difference to delay them."

To learn that there were people who could summon the things that don't know despair or pain--it would have to be looked into further. To him it was fascinating as ( ... )
