Irilin regretted that he had seen anything at all. He regretted more that he had made mention of what he saw. Someone would have noticed eventually--and more vocally. And yet, he had stepped forward, offered what he saw, and consented to be watched.
Staying in the Spire afforded him the opportunity to comb through the library, to find old treatises he had written in his youth, as well as some of his more literary works. His first collection of sonnets, three early plays. He doubted any of these saw much circulation, but there was satisfaction in knowing they were there.
The satisfaction could not bury the feeling biting away at his mind. The feeling that, despite reassurances, there was danger. Not necessarily to him, but in his proximity. Danger which everyone would only elude to, but never confirm, and certainly never name.
After an evening of cryptic hints at vague perils of which no one had the courtesy to tell him, he had had enough. He knew, perhaps more than anyone, that knowledge was power; right now, he was powerless. Though he was no grand warrior, no saviour of his people, he deserved to have power over at least his own well-being. As he faded into the shadows of Silvermoon at night, he set out to find the one person who could give him the answers he was looking for. He didn't know how they would affect him, but he knew he wanted them. And damn those who would assume, after all he'd lived through to this point, he could not hold his own
