A few quick notes. Â Or, I suppose, more a recollection.
I met Asheloux again while collecting wind crystals for the Grimoire. Â He was, as expected, as rude as ever~ Â He had it in his mind that I should leave the place I was in, despite myself being there before his arrival. Â He'd nearly tripped into me, which was rather amusing~ Â Of course, I did not oblige his.. strongly worded 'suggestions'. Â Why leave when all I need is right where I am, and I can make him uncomfortable~? Â It hardly seems up for debate~
There were, however, a few interesting things to do with this brief endeavor. Â First, (though not in any order) he did mention his eye, after I briefly mentioned something vague about my Aether. Â It apparently was an injury obtained from attempting to reverse engineer some old Allagan machines he'd uncovered somehow. Â They were in fragments, and there were also crystals involved, that he'd found around Mor Dhona. Â He claimed he didn't 'gather much from that' himself, though this is what he considered to be fair trade for the vague information I had given him. Â I can't argue~
He also mentioned that I was the first to.. cause him actual pain by having so much Aether centered in one place~  Is it odd to be both a bit worried and flattered about this~?  I suppose that just results in my general amusement, though he seemed relatively amused about it too, despite reminding me how much I made his stomach churn.  He really does deserve to be bothered rather often for what he gives, though I find it interesting that I, in particular, give him so much difficulty.  ... It.. actually makes me wonder. . . [blot] Does he actually see what it was before?  Is what it was before even still there? Or hasit changed into something else entirely now?  And would his.. sight pick it up as harmful as it once was?  Certainly it does seem to affect him... [spot]
 He also mentioned something about it being unfortunate I'd not been killed somehow.  Not surprising, given how much he adores me, but something to note, I suppose.  The Family did always say to note everyone who may wish to kill you, and really, it's quite a logical sentiment.
Lastly, he'd mentioned that he was studying wind crystals and their possibilities of flight. Â ... Which is interesting, though this was right before he left rather abruptly to.. throw up or something. Â I'd really not had the time to ask him about it, but.. immediately I thought of Lafiaht, and her endeavors to get to the Nymian Ruins. Â Perhaps, should I see him again, I will ask about this... or even, when I am not so busy, look into it myself.
Though, really, I should get back to working on the Grimoire. Â [a few blots] Â It is nearly complete! Â Which is exciting.. despite my tired words here. Â I will finish a bit more, get these wind crystals set, then rest. Â There's not much more to do now.
