Megaera had been thinking about things recently. About where the Bastion was headed, and what hope that might entail. While she'd come to accept that her former world was lost - and her world before that in turn, almost assuredly - it was still difficult to accept some of the things that were lost.

People were one thing. But the knowledge lost - and how much of the world's magic was going to be possibly forever crippled by not having enough arcane energy to cast more than three times per day without special tonics... That hurt more than anything. To someone who placed her identity as a wizard first and moremost, the idea of an entire world's development being lost - so much beyond her ability to know what to ask for, let alone to comprehend and use it - was really starting to get to her.

So she walked. Through the new forest, to the hot springs, to the very edges of the Bastion, out on her usual shard run... She'd been moving basically nonstop.

Where might you run into her?

"I can imagine not," she replied.

To be fair, she didn't get depressed easily, but she was kind of frustrated. Maybe talking a little more would help, since she's still... being her...

"I don't think one ever can get past that," she said. It was supposed to sound reassuring, but this is why you don't try to get Patchy to be reassuring.

"Some things cannot be helped," she stated. "I don't... really have a way of helping shake you out of this, though..."

"I don't even know," she admitted, sitting down. "I feel like I've gotten entirely too used to how much I lack. I feel like I've been here for years, and it doesn't... seem to be coming back... If we were to leave, would I just regain it?" That sounded ridiculous to her.

"Well... I guess I don't actually know. This is all that's left, basically, right? For as much as we're supposed to... leave here, right? ... I don't think there's anywhere else we can go."

She sat waiting for Megaera to maybe sit by her or something.

"Yeah... I mean, I feel like I'm just supposed to know things." Having the surname 'Knowledge' will do that to you. Especially when you've spent a hundred and ten years, or so, reading everything you could get your hands on. Right?

"I'm just... lost." She slowly hugged Megaera back.

"We'll find our way eventually, right? I get the feeling we're going to have to be quick about it, though."

"I don't really know how helpful I was," she replied, "but... you're welcome..." She leaned over, resting her head on Megaera's shoulder.

Patchouli took a moment to respond. She wasn't used to liking not being alone. But, she also supposed this was more in terms of mental status, not physical--

"I... I know what you mean," she said.

"I think that'd be a good idea," Patchouli said, working to get to her feet.

"Do you wish to stay the night with me? We can talk more about these things, if you want."

"Likewise," she replied with a smile. "Follow me. Not that you don't know the way, of course."

Patchouli didn't need a hand, but she appreciated the offer, smiling at Megaera's closeness a little, too. She leads Megaera all the way back to her room at the top floor of the library.

"Thank you very much," Patchouli replied, sitting down on the edge of her bed.

She wasn't exactly sure why she hadn't invited Megaera to her room. Maybe she just didn't have a good chance because they talked so much outside.
