[That wasn't missed, but then, she remembered talking about his imprisonment. Guess the warden was a real heel.]
They don't, no. But they were too late. And if I end up finding that prison again, I will destroy it. Brick by brick if I have to. That's something I've decided. I am not going to allow CERES to manipulate and trap the dead like that.
I am the last person who would try to deter you from such a goal...
[And as much as the idea of tearing down prison walls again would be immensely satisfying, this place was unpredictable. If there was so much as a fraction of a chance he may be locked away again, then the risk was too great.]
But you will forgive me if I do not participate. I already have one warden after my head, I would much rather avoid a second.
[She chuckles darkly to herself, shaking her head.]
Don't worry. I'd like to think of it as something personal. Hopefully the people who were with me managed to get out.
[There's a pause on her end for just a moment. She didn't know that they hadn't yet. Or that they had also destroyed it, but that's for the best. Merlin's a bro.]
[Illidan gave a nod at her response, relieved it was something personal at least. Even less reason for him to join in. At the mention of where he wound up, he scowled.]
A library.
[And she can probably figure out just how useful he was there.]
A friend of yours, at least one I have seen in your company from time to time.
[Probably shouldn't admit that so freely, but he doesn't think it's odd. He has every right to see who she's friends with so he can judge them appropriately. Can't have just anyone in her friend circle. Needs to make sure they are worthy.]
and some acquaintance of hers, and some other human man. They were all useless.
[Aside from actually being able to read like normal people.]
Did you get a name? [Did he bother? She has a lot of friends, surprisingly, and she wants to know who got saddled with this enormous, batwinged manchild. Mainly so she can apologize for him, and see if they actually know anything about what was in those books. He sure can’t tell her anything.]
A name? No, nearly everything out of the short ones mouth was punctuated by shrieking, though I had encountered her prior, so that was not surprising.
[He's trying to think of any description he could of them. It was hard, the only impression they made on him was "annoying".]
The taller girl, your acquaintance, was presumptuous enough to start barking orders. I cannot be certain this is right, given how powers and such from other worlds interfere with my vision, but I believe her hair is red.
Yes, she got ahold of something valuable, then simply vanished. Last I saw she was acting oddly- relatively speaking. Whatever happened I think she suffered some sort of head injury.
[Or several. Though he had thought that before the trip into the library.]
[Excuse you priestess, what was that sigh for? He didn't deserve that! He's the one that had to put up with them! And he did it for you, you should be proud.]
I assumed as much, I destroyed the ledger shortly thereafter.
Murder? That little whelp? [That actually gets him to laugh. The idea of her with some sort of weapon was hilarious.] With what? My glaives probably weigh more than she does, and she has all the subtly and grace of a murloc.
[Irony is, he'd probably like her more if she did kill someone.]

Where did you end up, exactly?

[...She has an idea. Tell her it wasn't...]
And did one of them disappear for a while? The short, noisy one?

[It was Rei. It was.]

[A very, very audible sigh.]
I already talked to them. They found books on the Flamines and CERES's account ledger. But nothing of immediate value. Maybe useful later though.
[A shrug.]
Maya did hit her head. She also ended up going into the nexus briefly because of that. It was the ledger. some sort of trap.

Maya...is kind of annoying. I'm sorry you had to put up with her.

I am surprised nothing killed her.

[And really why the cops kept fingering her for it confuses Rei.]
In any event, I'm glad you're well. And I should probably go and...check up on some other people. I'll see you later, Illidan.
