( it's a wariness that john understands — that he likely would have emulated if their positions were reversed. he does what he can to diffuse it by remaining as perfunctory and polite as possible. though, that having been said... there is something bizarre and inexplicable about the man's presence in Communion that is unsettling, unnerving. it's almost like, though it doesn't seem to emanate from john himself, there is something else in the metaphysical space surrounding them that's staring and prying into him.

unfortunately, there's not much john can do about that.

that having been said, he seems surprised by how ready byleth is to help. ) Oh, um. Thank you. ( pleasantly surprised? but still surprised. )

Mr Andor spoke at length about the route you took and the things you encountered. I'm specifically interested in the creature — the one that appears to have been a former Shard-Bearer — that you met. If there's anything you remember about it or trying to speak with it or how the experience made you feel that wasn't mentioned previously, I would appreciate it.

In addition, if you would be willing to give me whatever information or... a map or anything you can regarding the path you took, I would be grateful.

I'm not sure if the results will be any different, but I want to try to find one of these creatures and see if my abilities allow me to communicate with them any more clearly.
