    "The reality?"

    You don't have to be sorry for anything. It seems like you're pretty overloaded right now, and that's hard to manage. It's not your fault that you're struggling to keep up. As much as it sucks, it's unrealistic to expect yourself to do everything you want to do and be everything you want to be right now, especially when your obligations are getting in the way of what you want to be doing. You can get through this. Even if some stuff ends up falling by the wayside for now, even if you don't feel like you're meeting expectations, eventually this semester will end, the year will end, things will change. The most important thing is that you keep going and keep trying. If you think people are asking too much of you, try to say that and carve out some breathing room.

    He shook his head sadly. "It might seem that way, but they have little grasp on reality."

    "It's hardly your place to ask after the details of their care."

    "I don't know. They aren't very stable. That's why don't let them wander off alone."

    He ignored her question as to why, apparently distracted by was Sigsimund was saying. He looked back at her when she spoke. "I see. Well, I think I will join you nonetheless."

    17 looked around, once again holding their sword at their side.

    "Ah. Interesting, because your companion here said they were somewhere else." @Bird Furious

    "I said I don't care. I think 209845 wants us to go."
  10. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I don't really care."
  11. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I'll go with you." They looked and sounded defeated.

    "I assure you, I have only the best intentions for my ward." 17 frowned at 209845, then looked back at Réva. "Yeah."
  13. The Aspiring Archivist
    "No, this is the first time."
  14. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Hm. And where are you headed?"

    Despite her invisibility, the old man looked at where she was when she spoke, not seeming surprised or confused like some others had.

    "You could call me their guardian. Now, you said you've seen them? Why did you point in the direction I came from? I'm sure we didn't cross paths."
  19. The Aspiring Archivist
    "No. But I am the nearest they have to a parent."
  20. The Aspiring Archivist
    "They seem to have gotten away from me. They're... very troubled."

    "Who I am is not very important. I do have a pressing question, though. Have any of you come across a... lost young adult? Dark hair, light clothing, olive skin." He looked at them intently, clearly expecting that they had and would tell him so.

    A few moments later, a figure came into view. It was a elderly man, with pale skin and gray hair. He wore a worn-looking traveling cloak over simple but well-fitted attire, along with sturdy old leather shoes. He also used an ornate metal cane, surface worked with intricate geometric patterns. It became apparent that that was the source of the scraping as he steadily walked toward them. He was quite thin, but his upright posture and stern expression defied any notion of fragility. He surveyed them with sharp, dark eyes, taking in Sigismund's posture and Jidah's weapon calmly. He spoke with a slightly raspy voice that, while soft, conveyed an authority that demanded to be heard. "Now, now. There won't be a need for any of that, you three."

    They heard a quiet scraping in the tunnel behind them.
