Rainbows loom

[Anastasia]

I'm gonna run late again today but about to take a short intermission to get food.

This is a case where you should ask him IC.

[Nephrite]

"I'm happy to oblige, I have to admit I usually trade in magic knowledge or otherwise. I'm unsure as to what a wholly original thought is in your definition." Moore says quietly.

[Anastasia]

The elf regards you a short time before, "A thought no other being has ever thought," he says at last, "The perfect jewel of a new idea."

[Nephrite]

Moore hums for a moment.

Has he had anything like that...?

He takes in a breath — yes, of course. His experiences with Sylvie and his desire and drive to save her from 21. There is no other creature in Creation that has those same thoughts or ideas.

"I know one." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"Already?" The elf says, "Tell it to me."

[Nephrite]

"I'm trying to save someone. Not at all a unique premise, of course — but it's who I'm trying to save and what I want to save her from." Moore says.

"A friend of mine is tangled in with 21. She's... somewhere, stuck, and can't escape from it. I have been seeking a way to save her, which is what's led me to you — the search of knowledge and information to complete what I think is a ritual to open the way to her. There may be others seeking this too, but there is no being in Creation who had the same hopes and thoughts on this as I."

[Anastasia]

A moment's consideration, "I will accept that," the elf deity says at last. "I will mourn for your friend."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles brightly. "There is no need to mourn. Only hold hope in your heart for her, as she will no longer be chained to that destiny." He says proudly.

[Anastasia]

"You know what 21 is," There is a hint of reproach in his voice.

"We do," Cresiel says, "We fear it, but we will not stop."

[Nephrite]

"I will never give up my hope for a better tomorrow for all of Creation." Moore says firmly.

[Anastasia]

"Then go with your wisdom," Is the answer, "May it guide you and sharpen your mind for the future."

A small diamond appears in your hand. "When you wish to find the portal to Greenwood, dash this diamond on the ground."

[Nephrite]

"Thank you." Moore says. "If any are ever in need of hope, send them to me."

He bows his head again, stands and offers another bow, before he will take his leave!

[Anastasia]

A few steps and you end up back before the secluded temple, as if you never left it.

[Nephrite]

Is Mei there?

[Anastasia]

Mei awaits you.

"Oh, you're back. Tell me, what happened, because I'm certain I'll be asked when I get back to Aurora. Jaela will want to hear, so that means Hanna will hear, and Ram will hear too, and I imagine Canderella will want to hear, plus if Adrian comes by he'll want to hear, and I'd just have to tell Elena too." Amid that barrage of questions Cresiel clears his throat.

"Is it not said that gossip is the ravenous river, that washes all those within it from the true path?" Cresiel asks.

"It's important information to know, because Moore's our friend," Mei retorts, "I've been given my voice back and it's Angharradh's will that I use it."
