For reasons that should be obvious, Signum has trouble meeting the elf's eyes as she walks sullenly to the Magic Department headquarters, head less bowed and more simply downcast.
"Vivio mentioned that you would be in charge until everyone figured out what to do with me," the knight says in what remains, in spite of herself, a clear, calm, and collected voice.
"That's the plan for now, anyway," he said. "Would you care to come back to my lab? I'd really like to know the whole story."
No condemnation in that comment, just sincere curiosity. And a certain vested belief that after having an entire day's memorization sucked out of his head, he probably had at least a little claim on the knowledge. But no rancor over the fact.
"Very well," she says. "It's best that we get it all on record. If this happens again, I..."
She trails off, instead quietly following Aibghalien for a few paces.
"It all has to do with this magical tome," Signum says, showing Aibghalien the Book of Darkness. Yes, she'd decided, it was definitely still that. The Tome of the Night Sky - Reinforce - would not have accepted magic taken by force. "Originally, it was the ultimate storage Device, designed to collect spells from around the universe. The Wolkenritter - myself, Vita, and two others you probably haven't met - were programs created to defend it."
"Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'programs'?" He expected it was somewhere between 'construct' and 'force' from everything he had heard.
Since they both could fly easily enough, he eschewed the teleport circle and simply rose up the outside of the Jedi Temple to the large opening he'd cut into the wall. Slow enough so that she could follow close behind. He had the grim suspicion she might start protesting if he didn't look like he was watching her like a hawk.
