Calan smirks at the mention of his eyes. Calan closes his eyes tightly.
“You know, I don’t think I could imagine not being able to see.”
Calan opens his eyes again.
“I am sorry to be taking you from whatever you are up to. The last thing I want is to disturb your studies or what have you. “
Calan looks around the sanctum and the faintest sense of déjà vu passes over him.
“ there really isn’t any need to step into your private chambers unless there is something you would say to me privately. I just wished to both ask and tell you something.”
Calan pauses a moment to try and find a way to articulate what he was feeling.
“I want you to know that this is not a choice I came to Easily; witnessing the grinding of the live fae children was a factor in the decision, but it wasn’t the only factor.”
Images of the scorched battle field that Calan died in flashed through his mind.
“ I have seen what could come of this shard first hand, I have seen a people denied rest caught in and endless cycle of being hunted. I have encountered a people who have forgotten themselves. I have seen a shard barren and scorched. This is a fate I do not care to see again any time soon. Jinn has shown me enough to convince me that I had once trusted his council, and has filled me in on the danger that faces this shard now. The fate is too similar to the land I have just returned from. As I said this is something I can not ignore.”
He pauses to take a breath.
“I also vaguely feel a responsibility for dealing with this biata who’s memories we recently viewed; I feel I need to see that run it’s course. Finally, I am grateful to you for having been considerate enough to allow me to take some time to consider all of this but I trust you, I trust Jinn, and most importantly, I trust myself. So I would like you to take me back as a ranked member of the guild. I would also ask that you consider it as though I’d never left to any official capacity. I wish to be the best version of my self, to do the most good possible. I feel this is where I can meet these goals.”
Calan pauses and awaits for Evo to respond.
