''Sir Umeno!'' Your fear of pain easily won over any urge to bow. For a man to display monstrous traits mean one thing: he's older than Daiyu reigns and managed to master his Corruption enough to survive till today.
Pinching his long, thin white beard, the man greets your trio with a wave. He's tall and thin similar to a scarecrow with skin showing his age with marks of time and battles, the hands he moves display long, bony fingers. Despite being a picture of bad health, Keldan voice is strong, his steps assured, and his breathing translates his inner fortitude and assured confidence. Long white hair falls below his shoulders highlighting his authoritative face.
''Good day once again, dear guests.'' He releases his gray beard, turning toward his clanmate. ''I'll be helping them, thanks for coming to me''
''Please do not worry about keeping any... let's say pedigree. I have accepted all of you as my important guests.'' Keldan continues, his naturally grim features softening in a warm-hearted smile. ''The first step toward healing is relaxation, Ellie told me something mighty interesting indeed. You claim to possess a living soul inside a gem?''
''Long story, mysir.'' Isn't that a Muribel expression? ''Your student spoke the truth, my group has been wondering if it would be possible to have her experience one of these memories. I'm linked with my comrades here but not the one slumbering inside''
You hold up the precious, beautiful shiny golden gem, shades of blues have started to appear, hinting at Zhu's mood. Is she dreaming in there?
''Hmm, that is indeed a very precious stone. I've seen for myself an angelic soul dwelling inside a sword, so why not a gem? The woman inside is fully human?'' Your nod prompts him to pinch his beard. ''Goodness, what a fearsome will. To survive, glow so beautifully without a body... does she know about her state?''
Speaking about Zhu is causing inevitable grief to radiate out of Klesiah and, ever vigilant, Hao mirror the feeling out of pure empathy.
''Yes, she entered this gem willingly.''
''A fully human soul that didn't break apart despite the horrible truth of her body's death.'' The elder pinch his lips inhales deeply and wipes the overflow of humidity out of his eyes. ''You have something very precious indeed, young man. A soul like this deserves healing.''
With a gentle gesture, Keldan waits for you and Hao to step away so he can walk behind the large counter, asking for Klesiah to put the catalog on its surface as he goes.
''I do believe it could be possible to create an interaction, I've personally helped Hadraniel speak with all of her family during her long coma but... human souls can be so much more intense than angels, without an active soul link either... Hmm.''
''You've never tried something like that?'' Despite your best attempt at keeping a diplomatic face, a smile sneaks up on you. You've seen people experience a whole lot of ''first'' since Elina pulled you out of the Throne.
