[ That might have been part of it, not that she'd realize it. ]

Is sleep as necessary for you as it is for us? I mean, I know you don't have to eat as often.

[heartofsalvation]

We need rest and nourishment all the same, even if not as frequently. Sleep is still rest for the mind that cannot well be replaced by anything else -- believe me, more than a few scholars have tried in the past.

[And probably a few Sharlayan ones have, too, for that matter. Ah, they do take after their predecessors sometimes... for better or for worse.]

[likethestars]

I thought so.

[ She lets out a laugh. ]

I've seen what Sharlayan will do to food so trying to go without sleep isn't a surprise.

[heartofsalvation]

At least I can say we were not quite as insatiable as the Sharlayans are... generally speaking. I'm sure there were one or two of us who pushed the envelope a little too far, even so.

[Like Athena. Though it would take a prodigious amount of effort to be worse about "I did it for science" than Athena.]

I'll admit, I think I'm beginning to understand what people mean when they say I dedicated myself too wholly to my duty at the detriment of all else -- sleep, for example. But still... I find I know not what to do with myself without that duty to uphold.

[likethestars]

Aye...

[ Her thoughts go to Athena as well. ]

It only took being spirited away to another world, hmm? Though I can understand, that's why I'm itching to set out on an adventure.

[heartofsalvation]

[He pauses for a moment, humming.]

It feels like it isn't my place to ask, but you already know I would love more than anything to accompany you, even just once. I still care about my people, and my duty... but I have been given the chance to rethink how I act upon it. Perspectives I never even considered until it was far too late.

[likethestars]

Hmm? I thought Erichthonios would have brought up you traveling with me since he's been helping me prepare everything.

[ She knows the two of them are close. ]

'Tis a shame it's too late, but they say better late than never.

[heartofsalvation]

Of course he did. I was simply reiterating my feelings about it, that's all. It's been a long time since I was able to even have feelings like this... perhaps that's the exciting part in itself for me.

[likethestars]

Oh. I misunderstood, then.

I'm glad you're excited to travel with me.
