[Linhardt had wandered off in the middle of the apprentice mage's explanation. What Claude was telling him was not exactly making Linhardt inclined to expend any effort on Thorne's behalf. On the other hand, Claude himself should be taken with skepticism. Hilda had said Claude was withholding, and if he withheld from Hilda Linhardt can't imagine he's going to get more truth. Or Claude might genuinely be mistaken, or not privy to something important. Or the Free Cities and Thorne might be lying, rather like the Church and Arundel's people.]
Thank you for telling me. I will act accordingly.
[Linhardt yawns. He has no responsibilities. None of these people are his people. 'Act accordingly' means 'have an exit plan'. Linhardt isn't going down with the ship.
The Free Cities have what? Linhardt's face sharply whips towards Claude's and his eyes pierce the other man's.]
Do they have a ready supply of lenses? Or devices useful for increasing viewing size?
Why would anyone choose one?
[Both magic and technology are means of taking one's understanding of the world and using it to bend the world to one's wishes.]
The Church's restrictions were a tragedy. Why limit one's society in those ways?
[Linhardt sounds genuinely confused. Is it really about power? But why? Everybody could be eating peach sorbet and sleeping! There could be fewer famines, fewer plagues. Use all the tools at your disposal to improve life. Isn't that supposed to be what governing is?]
Who are those people and why should I talk to them?
[People.]
I don't like that.
[The not remembering. It's vulnerable. Linhardt doesn't like that.]
I like to sleep in Seteth's office. Professor Hanneman has some interesting notes in my Fodlan and we've found some of Seteth and Rhea's things as well.
Is the Professor's room the same in every Fodlan? What happens if two Summoned try to create a space together but they conceive of it differently?
Linhardt this weird little magic gremlin in Castle Thorne at night
