[Yes, it isn't supposed to be winter yet.

This is how Netsach will show that they no longer give a shit.]

Comments

[ He's back to looking down at the book, and yeah, he's pretty sure now that it's breathing right there in his hands. It's... creepy. Just a little, but then, he's a Sin-Eater and he walks around with two ghosts in his head, a breathing book that's going to maybe give him visions and dreams shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

He closes the volume now. He'll get to reading it later when he's settled down for the night. ]

Thank you, brother. I'll make sure to study it well.

[habub]

[ Nods. ]

You deserve to have access to it. It will only make you a far better Keeper of the Vigil than you already are.

[ Hmm. What else? ]

We can have formal lessons after you have completed your study of the Book. Let us work by your schedule: I do not think that we have to meet regularly.

[larue]

[ He was actually going to suggest going by your schedule, since you handle Aegis Kai Doru and are kind of all over the place. ]

I'm good with this, sir.

[ He's not sure what he can say to further express his gratitude for the book. Or that compliment. He hasn't felt as useful to the Hounds as he would like to, but this will help in leaps and bounds. ]

I'll definitely keep you appraised of my movements.

[habub]

Good.

[ Putting out his latest cigarette. ]

Now, unless there are other matters that you wish to discuss with me, or anything that you wish to ask, I believe that we are done here.

[larue]

[ He takes a moment to think carefully on that. You've said that formal lessons will start when he's done with the book, and he's good with that arrangement given how he wants to make sure that you won't need to spoon-feed him information. ]

Just one more thing, sir. [ He really needs to get into the habit of calling fellow Zangyaku ops 'brother' or 'sister'... he'll... work on that. ] I just want to know if there's anything you think I should apply myself to as a new member of the Rashinban -- while I'm studying the Book of the Dead.

[habub]

Hmm.

[ A good question, that. ]

The essence of being a part of the Rashinban is to know at least at the surface everything there is to know while being able to specialize in particular areas of interest. We are, after all, investigators inasmuch as we are researchers. All things inform all other things.

[ A beat. ]

As such, you will have to decide what you wish to specialize in. You may inform me of your decision at any time. I will adjust what I seek to teach you accordingly.

[larue]

[ He likes this. He likes this very much. It's right up his alley without being... too overwhelming. ]

Thank you, brother. [ He'll take this opportunity to bow his head in deference. He's got a lot of reading and a considerable amount of thinking to do. ] I'll think on that and inform you as soon as I've settled on what it is I'd like to specialize in.

Thank you as well again, for this opportunity to learn under you.

[habub]

[ Standing up then, and nodding once more. ]

Do not thank me yet. You can consider it after we have truly gotten started.

[ He isn't an easy teacher in the slightest. ]

Enjoy yourself at the Festival. Remember what I have told you.

[ Because in actuality, the work never ends. ]

[larue]

I will, sir.

[ He stands just to see you off and then he's turning back to the book and running his fingers over the cover.

He's seen a good amount of the festival. It's time to get to work. ]
