Along with our existing duties of farmers, sugar-makers, and bodyguards. Wizards seem to do a bit of everything.

[When you can do magic, you can do anything]

[leewards]

Busywork is what they give us. [A soft sigh.]

Aside from these things... that are actually dangerous. I suppose there should be some excitement in our lives somehow.

[Now he drums his fingers on his knee, thinking more.] You've rested, yes?

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

As much as I could. It's been hard to rest.

[He doesn't look bad because he's used to a nocturnal life after thirty years or so of it, but still, if Ithaqua were to be clever, he'd definitely see signs that Kiryu, even though he returned intact, is not in top physical shape.

Which is impressive, really, that Kiryu can be quite impressive physically-speaking even though he's not on his prime anymore. He was incredible, when he was healthier]

[leewards]

[Ithaqua takes that statement the wrong way. He's well aware that Kiryu might as well be as old as his mother, perhaps even older, but while the aches and pains of aging humans are not unknown to him... Ithaqua just doesn't think about them right now.]

Lingering effects from the mission? Nightmares?

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

Yes. I don't know if it's normal or something to blame on the rock but I have felt exhausted and it's not going away.

[Ever felt so tired resting doesn't seem to solve it? Yeah]

[leewards]

Hmm... [Now Ithaqua thinks. He wonders if there's a solution to this.] Wait here a moment.

[As if this isn't Kiryu's room...!

Ithaqua scuttles out of the window again and climbs the several stories up to his own room, completely unafraid. When he returns just minutes later, he has two tiny sachets in his clawed hand, one smelling faintly like lemon tea, and the other like lavender.]

Put one of these under your pillow while you rest, and we'll see what works for you.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

[There we go, I knew Ithaqua wouldn't hesitate to go clambering to the highest floors, hah. Vindication!]

...you didn't have to go out of your way to do this.

[This is truly thoughtful of Ithaqua, he thinks to himself, taking the satchels]

[leewards]

Says who? Heheh! No one's put a knife to my neck and demanded such a thing.

Put it this way-- you'll help me further my studies in magic, while having a chance to sleep well.

[themanwhoerasedhisname]

...put like that, guess there's no reason not to accept.

[More because he's willing to help Ithaqua with his studies in magic, really]

Thanks. Truly.

[leewards]

Thank me if it works, heheh.
