"Of course, will bring what books we can." It would be good to help him learn of what time he had missed, though it was a lot of time. He could borrow books from the library as well as see what he had at home. He was sure he didn't own much in the way of books pertaining to history, he had no reason to. But the library was a good option, he would need to get a library card though, he had needed to use his school ID card at the schools library. He'd asked the one helping him there about them and had found out that the public library had them also. He didn't know why but he'd thought it might be different in this country - nope.
So he'd get that and he could take out what books he could for the other, he hoped there was no limit.
"I have, once. New to being a knight - Christmas eve. Few weeks ago." He explained. he hadn't had the time to go more than once, though he did plan to. "Alive? Looks like fighting and time have done damage. No life there, dust, decay, ruin." He stated thinking about the dust, everywhere, the rotted holes in floors and things fallen over as well as eaten away at curtains and carpeting and more. "No life." He finished then while watching how fast the other managed to eat. He really hoped it was enough to fill him, he feared it might not be.

"I'll see about bringing some then." Erebus said with a nod. When he got back home he could start to gather them up though he wasn't sure when he would see Caedus next. At the question about their Wonder's, the Saturn Page went quiet for a moment. "I have been a few times. It depends on what you mean by alive. There are no humans, no creatures, the forest is dead and the water gone. But it still stands and still calls." He wished he could have seen it when it was full of life, when the trees were full and the town bustling. But that wouldn't happen beyond what memories might come to him later.

Caedus nodded, grateful that they would make such an offer. Even though the idea of books was fascinating, he was far more interested to hear about the state of their wonders. While he did not know when Christmas was, and while it took a while for him to translate what a week Earth time was compared to his time, he nodded, and understood it to be a fairly brief time since Venice had been awakened. "At least they still stand. That is something to be optimistic about, I should think. I have seen worlds suffer a far worse fate. For a thousand years to pass and your wonders—your planets—still survive in the face of such Chaos? …I have seen worlds rise and fall in my life. I am sorry to hear about your Wonders," he said, nodding to each of them. "It sounds as though you will have a difficult journey should you choose to restore them. But if your wonder still calls...then there is spirit in it still. It wants to live. Perhaps you can guide it back to life. Has anyone learned how to do such a thing?"

Yes, for something to stand so long was proof to something, power perhaps, there were places here on Earth that had survived so long...were they also wonders though? Was that why some ancient places had survived so long? It was something that was now coming to mind as the other spoke. Nodding his head he looked to Erebus then.
"Yes, difficult but not impossible." He was sure of it. It would take time, maybe not even in his life time, but something could be done and things could, and possibly would, happen. He would do this best, he already was trying but he knew he'd have to do more - much more. "By life...you mean people? No...do not think so...right?" He asked questioning Erebus silently, since he was new and was clueless. he was sure though if someone had they all would be working toward it - right? "Don't know how..." Or he would try, in time.

"Yes, all of us are very grateful that they still stand and are alive in that sense." Erebus nodded. He doubted that he would be here at this point of time if his Wonder was completely dead as he couldn't imagine that one that couldn't call would be able to have a Knight in the first place. "I have heard that some have been making attempts to restore them. Some Wonders have water and plant life though how much of that was their doing and how much of it was already there I don't know honestly. No people or animals though." He said and gave a shrug in Venice's direction at the look. He may have been around longer but he also hadn't talked to many other Knights. "Do you possibly know of a way to, if not restore completely, speed up the healing?" He asked, figuring it was worth a shot as the worse that could come out of the question was being told no.

Caedus seemed thoughtful, though ultimately he shrugged. If he knew, he didn't seem to have any plan in sharing that information. "I have learned that it is best to let things grow as they are meant," he finally confessed, and it seemed to be with a guilt-twinged voice. "You do not want to overload your world, or create anomalies. The best way to restore life is by tender, delicate care. Or so I hear. Restoring life is different from creating it." He seemed somewhat distant and then shrugged. "There are those that probably know better than I amongst your numbers."

Listening to the other he slowly nodded his head. "I see, yes. Makes sense." He said slowly before speaking once more. "The flowers which blossoms slowest is prettiest and best treasured." Or something along those lines, the meaning and analogy was correct. To let it take time, to go about it slowly, would be the best as the results would be best.
"but can life, human, come from nothing? Can be restored?" And would that be by them or by the senshi who...owned, though he didn't like that word, the planets? Or would it be all of them combined? He wasn't sure but he was curious. "Would we do that or senshi? Restore life...their planet...?"

Erebus let out a small sigh after Caedus finished talking. He wasn't surprised though he could admit to feeling a bit disappointed. "Thank you anyway then. It does indeed make sense to let them recover slowly when put that way." He certainly didn't want to damaged his Wonder when trying to restore it after all. When Venice asked about human life though he looked between the other Knight and Caedus with interest. It would probably be something out of their lifetimes and possibly be something that just plain required them to repopulate the old fashioned way once the planets were restored but he was curious as to what the visitor would say.

"That, I do not know, entirely. But I know how durable humans are. It would not surprise me if you could find a way to truly restore life. But life…is not only about human life. Perhaps you cannot restore the lives that are lost, but perhaps you can restore the resources needed to support life. I confess, I know little of the Wonders of Knights, but I do know that they are little pockets of magic. You have as much power as any senshi. You are one piece of a whole. You may restore life where they cannot. But—again," he seemed apologetic once more. "I do not know. I have not seen it done. But in theory…time makes way for life. You can groom your Wonder to be what you need once more."

Was he saying it was possible for human to return to those planets? To those wonders? To be...restored? But not brought back from the dead, as that would be impossible - as it should be. Though as he said life wasn't only human...plants and animals and germs as well. Those perhaps could return, small baby steps. That would make sense...like how everything started out on Earth it would have to happen again up in space? Was that it? Though add in some magic and maybe it would go faster or bigger starting point?
"Yes...perhaps in time...we can do it slowly." Perhaps not them but others after them. "Yes...make it nice again." Able to sustain life and have people there. That would take enough time and work from them, they should focus on that.

Erebus nodded thoughtfully, it made sense that the other didn't have the answers in the long run as he remembered that Caedus did say that his planet didn't have a Senshi so it wouldn't have any Knights either. "Thank you again for trying to think of anything anyway and thank you for the advice. I'll have to ask around to see if any of the others have any ideas." He said with a small smile. One day they would be full of life again, it just might be far in the future in the long run. He then looked over at Venice to see if he might have any other questions because nothing else came to mind for him.

Caedus nodded; he seemed tired, and truthfully the bedding that they supplied was nothing short of a treasure to him. He did not want to seem too eager, or rude. So, he thanked them again. "You two have done so much for me. I wish there was something more I could do for you." He was quiet for a moment, and then seemed to be compelled with a thought. "I do have something. It is not much, but I have a soft spot for small trinkets. They—" he pulled out a weathered bag that clinked when he moved it. It seemed weighted down by something, but it was undeniably a different bag than the one he had revealed at the meeting. He dug his hand into it and fished around until he pulled out a palm sized item. He tied the bag shut and returned it to wherever he was hiding it before he raised his other hand. He took one side of the rock in each hand and pulled; it snapped in two pieces immediately. He did not seem to break it—instead, he held both pieces in his hand as if to display them. Each was a rich, red color, though looked like someone had injected a stream of purple. The gems appeared as though they had trapped a trail of vibrant purple smoke. Apart, the pieces were still impressive, but he explained, "They are attracted to one another. I found them, a long time ago, very far away. But I thought they were beautiful. They are supposed to bring luck, apart, and happiness together. I have had neither, so perhaps such a myth applies only to humans." He offered one to Erebus, and one to Venice.

"Mmm, thank you for what you have provided us it. Gives us much to think about." Venice echoed, in his own way, as he bowed once to the other. He had grown up bowing to all kinds of people and for all kinds of things so this was normal for him, even if all the bowing he did might seem odd or over the top to others. He had good manners, odd as it was to other people.
"No need to do anything, this is only proper. You offer a lot and have gone so long with nothing, you should be shown care." Venice was quick to dismiss the others offer to do anything for them. He was already offering to help in this war, in some way, and all he wanted to do was go home. He had looked tired and in need of care when he'd met with them all. It was time he got some of that care and rest, and if he could help provide it than he would.
"Gifts not need to be big to have meaning, to be special." Little things, things with meaning, those counted the most as far as Seung thought. It was what was needed and what held meaning - always. So when he watched what the other did and heard what he said about the rocks, understanding most of it, he nodded. They were special, in meaning, and yet the other had not had luck nor happiness and that was sad, it pained him to hear that. "If it does, and they failed for that. I hope you find the happiness and luck. Soon you will go home - maybe there." He offered as he was again bowing as he took one half of the rock into his hands gently. Straightening himself he held the rock half he had close to his chest. "Will keep this safe and close - to remember this meeting." Among other things, as he glanced over to Erebus who would have the other half.
"Cannot have no luck forever and never happiness. Must have both some time." And hopefully that would be soon for the other, he could only hope for such. Bowing again, the rock half held close to himself, he straightened once more. "We should go, let you rest and gain in strength." He had to be tired and still in need of time to recoup from all that he had been through.
"Wish you safety and good rest." As well as good memories to leave Earth with, to replace the bad.

Erebus blinked in surprise when Caedus first pulled out the rock and split it in half but when he offered them as a gift he gave a smile. "You did not have to but thank you, they are very beautiful." He thanked as he took the half offered to him. He studied the half for a moment before looking back to Caedus the smile still on his face, like the other Page he held it close to his chest, having no plans on letting it accidentally falling. It was a gift and he appreciated the intentions for it. "I too hope you find your happiness and luck." He said, agreeing with Venice. He caught the look the other Knight gave him and he turned his head to give him a small smile in return before looking back at Caedus. When it seemed like they were about to part ways and let the man get some rest he gave a nod. "Sleep well and if you need anything else just let us know when we drop by with the books alright?" He offered up with a smile.

Venice's words were true, and the noise that came from Caedus afterwards almost even sounded like a laugh—however tired, and haggard. He nodded. "This is true. I thank you, both. I will rest well tonight, thanks to you. I look forward to your next visit." He raised a hand, tiredly, but was attempting a wave. "Take care and be well."
