Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You don't have to thank me." He let the door slide shut before reaching out to brush his fingers along the other man's arm. "I should be thanking you. It's not often I find someone who actually finds me interesting outside of being Sailor Arsinoe."

He wanted to share this part of himself even though it was a bit boring.

"That's because here I am Sailor Arsinoe. The young man beneath the title is just a formality." He sighed softly. "Something that has to be there until the Senshi awakens or some nonsense. It's ... there are only a handful of people who remember that I'm still, me."

His mentor was one and a few scribes who remembered him as a child. And Arlen.

"It must make my reactions seem a bit questionable. Poor Jinyue who doesn't get to have friends clinging to anyone who pays attention to him."

He was surprised at Arlen taking his hand but tired not to let it show. "No, not at all." He shook his head. "I would .... I suppose were I in your shoes I would be questioning my motives. I'm sorry Arlen, I'm just not used to people actually liking my company." They usually just wamted something from him but he knew Arlen disnt have anythint to gain by faking a friendship.

"I am not used to feeling, wanting, to be selfish and have a bit if someones time." He settled their fingers more comfortably as he looked up at the knight

"That's because the fish have never caused me problems that weren't easily solvable." He laughed softly. "No one throws a fit if I get too close to a fish." People on the other hand complicated things.

He did appreciate the othet mans faith in him though. Knowing there was someone other than his cousin that thought he should he a bit more free. "The only thing inside that's telling me anything right now is saying how much I want to kiss you."

His cheeks flushed at the chaste kiss and despite it not being the sort he wanted it was best. Arlen didn't need to get himself in trouble. If anyone suspected he'd even done that they might protest him returning. That would be worse then never getting the kiss he wanted,

"It may only make them worse depending on what we get. There are all those stories about various foods causing feeling in people." His voice was slightly teasing as he moved though the vault.

He explained what books were where, how they'd come to have some of them, and which ones were being worked on by various scribes. When he reached one shelf he paused. "Here ..." He pulled down an oversized book with a large pearl set into the font. "This is actually yours, well, from Mag Mell. It's the only book we have on your home. Most of it is in a language we can't read though."

"Usually we don't let these books leave the archive but it is a rather sturdy book and I'd rather have help than not. You just can't let it leave your hands." He nodded, knowing someone would complain but he was technally in charge of the vaults.

"I would love to visit. Perhaps next month?" He would have some free time and he could call it an Archive visit even if it would be nothing of the sort.

"Since we are going to eat I'll have someone take it to the place. I wouldn't wasn't too get anything on it." If it was taken to the palace there would be less funny looks as well. "I can have it sent to your room."

He tucked the book under an arm as they headed for the main stairs back up to the archive. "I take it you are getting hungry?"
