Welcome to Gaia! ::

“It is ancient history,” Lyndin answered with a little shrug. “We all know the story, I don’t mind you asking. We were a peaceful people. We focused on energy manufacturing, and research. Life was good. A Senshi was a perk but not a necessity. The last Senshi to awaken on our world lived to be nearly twenty eight hundred years, by your count. A long life, but not even the oldest Senshi. Old age took him,” he said, like it was such a simple thing. "It was peaceful. A death we could all be grateful for."

He didn’t seem particularly heartbroken about it, but then, if he had been at one point he’d already had plenty of time to grieve.

Caedus listened to the story, gave pause for a few seconds, and then said, “You would really let us visit Andronicus?” to see books or otherwise, his attention had shifted immediately to the offer.

Caedus was smiling again, incredibly easy to read and incredibly eager to see this sandy, chilly world. Cold, he knew. Cold, he could handle. Sand, he had less familiarity with, and cold sand was such a distant memory in his mind. “Any time,” Caedus answered. “I have no schedule to keep. At your convenience, I will be ready. And, I will be a courteous guest,” he assured. “I will dress warmly.”

He could be ready whenever, that much was obvious.

Lyndin watched him with a tired amusement; he smiled and shook his head as he crossed his arms over his chest.

“Long-lived or otherwise, it means nothing when there’s no one out there with you. It’s been quite a while since we found a world that sustained any sentient life.” He looked at her appreciatively, proudly. Most of the worlds had fallen when the Moon Kingdom fell, but he supposed she must know that already. “It seems a miracle that this one exists and is flourishing.”

Caedus smiled again and it was obvious that her enthusiasm carried into his own. “I think it is a good thing to be curious. The world around you, the universe, it is impressive. There are so many things to be astounded by. I have time,” he assured.

“Not too much time,” Lyndin reminded, and gave him a look that indicated he was clearly the responsible one and they did have a lengthy list of things to tend to. “Especially if you’re going to take her up on her offer to go visit soon.”

Caedus blinked and the nodded quickly, like he was particularly grateful that Lyndin was there to be logical for the both of them.

Satisfied that Caedus might be thinking a bit more practically, Lyndin returned his attention to Andronicus’ questions. “I think they have some sort of magical protection to keep uninvited guests out. I wouldn’t worry too much, if something doesn’t want to be found, it won’t be. The Code works like that, if I recall. It can protect itself somewhat. It’s not a permanent shield, but if you don’t have magic, I don’t think you’ll ever be aware of it. There are Earth Knights, aren’t there? And they haven’t been discovered by the majority of your population?” He didn’t seem worried, even if he seemed to be aware that his information might be a bit out of date.

Lyndin bowed his head just a bit, obviously a polite gesture. He seemed respectful of Andronicus and the time they’d spent together. “We’ll do our best,” he assured.

Caedus smiled, in that way that said he would do his best, but he wasn’t so naive as to presume that he wouldn’t wind up doing something silly. Earth brought out the best in him, even if that might not have been quite consistent with Velencian standards. “Take care of yourself, Andronicus. I am already excited to see you again.”
