[ That they're still fighting in Linhardt's timeline offers some clarification on when the other is from. There's still more to that to narrow down, Claude's sure, but he nods all the same. That sort of information can wait for the moment as well with so much else to be said. Mentioning discussing something else gets that wry smile on his own face to stretch a little wider though it's quickly followed by an eyebrow raise at the mention of Thorne as he studies Linhardt just as carefully beneath it all. ]
How's Thorne going so far? [ Genuine curiosity factors in there; while he knows some of the Summoned in Thorne, there's been no one from Fodlan there since he's been here. It's a chance for yet another set of eyes there and with someone who has the context of all of Fodlan's difficulties behind it, too. ] If I had to pick somewhere you'd end up, I think it would've been there. I get the impression they have access to much more magic than Solvunn does, and then considering the Free Cities hardly believes in magic at all...
[ He'll let that trail off since - to Claude - it goes without saying that seems like a recipe for the other's misery from what he remembers. It's certainly become a more interesting recently what with research and talks with those friends in Thorne. Linhardt's questions about the Horizon's capabilities make the corners of his mouth twitch with what's actually genuine amusement. He should've anticipated that, he thinks, and yet. ]
As far as I can tell, the Horizon seems to work in that whatever you want to create? You can. I've recreated some of the plants I've come across to experiment with them and they behave much as they would in... well, reality. Most of it seems to be based upon specific memories you have, as I've also been filling in some of the monastery library with books I remember. It'll be good to have you help out with that.
[ He's ready to be corrected on whatever mistakes he's made in the magical theory books, certainly. There's the passing thought of Linhardt being able to help with those he'd taught the couple spells he knows if time allows, and Claude makes a mental note of that. ]
And no, the process to get in is meditation but it requires physical touch from the Summoned who's been there before. Something about passing a link of some kind on, I'd imagine. You'll be pleased to know that the pond's full of fish waiting to be caught, even the godsforsaken goddess messenger.
[ A couple of his recent attempts to catch it were Less Than Ideal, much like the real thing. ]
