Nagesh nods. "He's one of the many optimists in this Clocktower."

"something I am truly glad for," she commended with a slightly more serious face. "I never liked living in places with pessimists and conformists."
Offline
Nagesh doesn't act the somewhat rude "You have...?" Instead, he just nods, acknowledging her opinion as a valid one.
Offline
"but well," Yvonne continued, "the clocktower is a nice place."
Offline
Nagesh nods again, this time with more opinion to the gesture than before.
Offline
"glad to know you share my opinion, but then again, who wouldn't like this place?"
Offline
The irony of the current situation was pretty prominent, but Nagesh just laughs. "Perhaps someone very inclined towards peace and quiet."
Offline
"true." Yvonne stretched her arm sideways. "anyways, was there anything you were going to do?"
Offline
"Oh, not particularly," Nagesh responds. "I'm sorry, I should have realized that I am likely bothering you."
Offline
"bothering me?" Yvonne lifted an eyebrow and smiled. "when did I ever say something like that?"
Offline
"Rarely does anyone say so," Nagesh says with a small smile. "It should be those of us who interact with others needlessly on a constant level who should be self-aware."
Offline
"hmm. I don't mind talking, though most of the time others talk to me more than I talk to them," she replied unprompted.
Offline
"Ah, is that so?" he asks, unperturbed. It's likely he's aware he's not being a nuisance, really, or he would have excused himself promptly. "Is it because they tend to be talkative?"
Offline
"yeah, probably, or I'm just not awake enough to talk much," she said.
Offline
"Is it convenient? I find that words are quite hard sometimes," Nagesh says, though he adds, "Sleep is hard to find sometimes as well, though, I suppose."
Offline
She shrugged. "eh, not like I have a lot to talk about, but sleep comes rather easily to me."
Offline
"That's a sort of good luck," Nagesh evaluates with a grin.
Offline
"pretty helpful at times too," Yvonne said and lifted a finger in an incomplete fingergun gesture.
Offline
"I bet it is." Nagesh is curious at the gesture but makes sure not to stare. "I did forget to ask you, though, I believe--is there anything you are planning on doing in the very near future?"
Offline
Her hand wasn't even completely closed lol. Probably even those who knew how to fingergun would have been confused by that movement.
"you mean like, right now?" Yvonne tilted her head slightly and straightened a little bit. "no, not really. is there a reason for that question?" she asked with curiosity in her voice.
Offline
"Well, I hate to sound repetitive, but I don't want to bother you. In any case, perhaps I was trying to be sneaky with something," Nagesh answers, not specifying, possibly as a sort of tease.
Offline
The mage allowed her hand and arm to drop at her side with no resistance.
"hmmm?" Her smile showed she was playing along while continuing to be curious.
Offline
"As much as I say I don't want to bother you, I did want to confer with you about something," Nagesh states.
Offline
Yvonne put her hands together. "go ahead, I'm listening."
Offline
"It's hard for me to ask for help, but do you think you could aid me with finding something in the library?"
Offline
"I'd be delighted to be of aid," she replied rather promptly.
Offline
"That's always nice to hear," Nagesh says with a pleasant smile. "Though, I was refraining from asking earlier because I was not sure how exactly languages transverse in terms of knowledge in this world. Would you think that to be an issue?"
Offline
"hummm, I don't know for sure." Yvonne looked up at Nagesh curiously. "what do you mean by that?"
Offline
Nagesh realizes he might have worded that in a complicated way, though that's the natural way for him. "Give me a moment to rephrase, please," he laughs. After a tiny bit, he says again, "I was not certain if, even via translation spells from here, that every language can be translated. It happens what I seek would only be seekable if this issue is not present."
Offline
"ah." Yvonne became thoughtful for a moment, eyes almost completely closing. Still with the same face, she replied, "for sure I don't know if that's a problem at the moment, but we won't know if we don't try..."
