"... Sir?"

For some time she was quiet, trying to let him absorb the news she was giving him for the moment. It must have been shocking, if only because it was apparently that much different from his world. Whatever a pillar was, it must have been quite important.

Still, it was too long in silence for her tastes, so she broke it to try and get his attention again while stepping just a little closer, "Is... Is there something wrong?"

[even_if_it_crumbles]

Tilting his head as she moved closer he leveled a stare at her that would melt most subordinates, though in her case the action was some what misplaced. She hadn't done anything but interrupt his thoughts. But... he also wasn't the sort to apologize for his actions so he just let the matter slide as if it hadn't happened.

"Finding a world without a Pillar is... surprising."

He admitted to that much but it was MUCH more than merely surprising. He knew of a few worlds and none of them had Pillars, but he had never actually been able to travel to any of them. This was a new experience in so many ways.

"If this world can call others to it could it be directed to target some one specifically?"

[enchantressofore]

He didn't have to glare at her. Adela couldn't help her own frown growing as he gave her that look, and she straightened a little with it. It didn't last however, if only because of his question. The expression that replaced it wasn't pleasant, however.

"I... Would not know for certain, but I would lean towards there not being a way. Not that those who live here know of. I know of some who would have been called here long ago were that the case."

Adela took a moment to breathe, trying to calm herself rather than betraying too much emotion, "I... I know not what comfort this would give, but those of the same world can appear. It seems random, who will arrive from the same world and who will not, but if you can arrive here then there is a chance others of your world will in time. That is all I can say with any certainty."

He didn’t mean to upset her but now that it had been done he did what he did best... and said nothing about it. Really if the man would share his feelings occasionally little misunderstandings like this might not happen to him so often. It was clear that she too had lost someone important to her.

But instead he glided past her, thinking it best to move on and continue his search through this city. After all...

“I do not have the luxury of time.”

[enchantressofore]

"You have more time than you think."

Adela was quick to correct him, not pausing for long before she continued to explain, "A friend of mine returned home from here before awakening again. According to him, it was like he had never left in the first place -- meaning that it is safe to assume time is frozen where you are from."

[even_if_it_crumbles]

Zagato only made it a few paces away from Adela before she shared that, likely the single most important piece of information she had given him. Zagato immediately halted in his tracks and despite trying to school himself not to his heart caught in his throat.

Time... froze...

"The she would still be alive. The Magic Knights will be unable to complete their mission."

[enchantressofore]

What in the world was he talking about? She raised a brow at him, tilting her head inquisitively but honestly not expecting him to explain.

"I suppose not? I would not know, knowing nothing of your world or those in it."

Her gaze went back to the ocean, and she tried to relax more before speaking almost boredly, "Regardless, I can show you to one of the welcome houses if you like. There is more information there, and there are plenty who know more that would answer your every question should you wish for it. As for me... I think I should return home for the day."

[even_if_it_crumbles]

He blinked at the girl tilting her head at him. Oh right…had he been speaking aloud to himself again? He really needed to watch that, he was usually so much more cautious.

Zagato considered explaining at least some of the situation to her since she had answered so many of his questions but if she needed to return to her home he wouldn’t delay her any further.

“I can find my own way from here.”

Thank you. He really should have said that outloud but… again, stoic secretive with emotions kind of guy that he is he didn’t bother.

[enchantressofore]

"Then I wish you luck."

Adela nodded before making to head on her way. It seemed like the lack of verbal gratitude didn't bother her at least, and honestly? His business was his own.

A part of her truly did hope that he found whatever he was looking for, or if he could at least find something worthwhile in Nautilus while he was there. But, at least for the time being, it was out of her hands.
