[ It's been too long, he's spent far too much time hidden away, staring into golden lights. He can clearly hear Malik's disapproval, his demands that he destroy the cursed object, or at the very least put it away and get some air. And food.

He does as the phantom demands, putting the object away hiding it from sight. (Into a place only he knows.) He goes outside too, collecting his journal from the counter as he passes by and settles himself on the nest of cushions placed nicely in the corner of the small courtyard.

Though it does little to help the creeping pain in his head, it would certainly appease his friend... temporarily.

Once comfortable he flicks through the journal. He wonders what the castle at large is up to today. ]

We fall into previous habits without pause, as if we never left. [ Altaïr has his doubts about his leaving in the first place. He can no longer be sure if he truly did or not. ] And Paradisa remains still, even as the seasons change.



( ooc; guess what? this is open both via the journal and in person, if any roof climbers feel like stumbling upon the buearu roof in the city. the hatch is currently open and grumpy pants assassin is visible down below. )

[She grunts softly in agreement.] The longer I spend in this place, away from the time and place I ought to be in, the less patient I become with its wiles.

It has gotten to the point where I wonder if waiting around is not the best solution, though it has worked for others. I wonder if there is not something else we can do to escape.

[ Her words certainly ring true to him. Some of them, anyway. ]

You would leave then? Seek your answers outside this castle's boarders?

[ He cannot say the thought has not occurred to him before; it has... multiple times. ]

[ex_avenged224]

If that is what it takes.

[She's been thinking about this for a long time, actually. But only in recent weeks has it become more and more appealing.]

[ If he did not have an oath (among other things) that anchored him here, he would join her. ]

I pray you find them if you ever do.

[ex_avenged224]

As do I.

And I hope you find your own as well.
