"We were not very old by then... She probably was too focused on making sure to avoid the end than to talk about us." It was logical - with a theoretically limited time span, better to focus on what was pressing, first of all.

"I know she only really started telling and having us meet others after the ritual." He nodded, and started to head back toward the small part of the library that had become his transcribing area - Glaucon might actually want to sit a little bit, considering the cane he was using to walk. It made him wonder how or why had left him like this, but he knew better than to ask.

Judgment nodded a bit as he listened to Kios's account, easing himself into a mode of contemplation. So he had been around a while, but the times had been trying back then. The race to stop the End had meant there was no time to spare, not even for a few words not on the subject.

That, and the knowledge at the time was that her children would only be able to live as long as existence itself...

"I see..." he replied. He followed Akakios and took a chair gratefully, albeit being uncertain how long he would be spending in the Library. The table here had an array of books, some turned to blank or half-finished pages, along with a quill and pots of ink.

"This is your work area, I assume?" Not that it could be anything else. He peered over it curiously, wondering if any of Akakios's works-in-progress had any interesting or familiar ideas on the pages.

"I prefer to work here, near the back of the library... Less chances of being disturbed here." If people were going this deep into the library, then they were obviously either looking for something, or looking for someone. An individual who had come here by mistake would have turned tail long before getting here.

Glaucon would likely see the little back room he had turned into a living space from where he was sitting, if he was observant enough.

The tome in transcription was a botany tome, likely of little interest to Judgement, but the other books piled high to the side were tomes on various mountains, and the largest of them was undoubtedly a bestiary.

Half-done sketches of trees and leaves and flowers were fresh on the pages, bringing to mind a certain old friend he was eager to meet at the earliest opportunity -- the thought of whom brought him to a rare, easy smile as he leaned over to admire Akakios's handiwork-in-progress.

"It is inspiring to know that however wild the forces of nature may be, they can always be tamed by the skilled hand of a scholar... wouldn't you say?" he offered, as he settled into his seat. "Though I wonder what their ruling deities would think of these things."

One hand went up to fiddle with the lace of his veil in thought. Books were books and certainly if a god had not wanted their domain annoted, the ancient texts would not have been there to begin with ?

"I figure it depends on the god." He mused. "And how they feel about others having a better understanding of what they represent." Not something he personally minded, but then what purpose would he truly have if he was the only one allowed to write laments ? What use would his mother be if only she was allowed to sing ? As art forms, they found their strength in wide-spread usage, perhaps.

A more nature-oriented god... Might be different. "I have to admit I never did think about it before."

The conversation would continue on for quite some time, before Tasia came to inform Lament that his mother needed to see him. "Well, I should probably go..." Glaucon would understand... hopefully. "Drop by again sometime !"
