[ She hums softly, as if she’s seriously considering it. ]
I suppose I should find a separate puzzle to solve instead, simply to make up for it. I’m certain I’ll find one. Mayhap the lady of the house would be kind enough to guide me to one.
[ It’s a joke, but she wouldn’t put it past Cantarella to search for further mysteries so Y’shtola has more to dig into. It’s her way of things and it’s what captures and keeps her interest… most of the time. Her fondness for others can override that, though she’s selective of who reaches that level.
She has a few mysteries of her own that she might be able to offer as a starting morsel to whet your appetite.
[Perhaps some of them aren't even wrapped up in darkness and death. Cantarella is barely known in the towns surrounding her castle, with her title having far more reach than her given name. Maybe there are some secrets that are just about her.]
Hm... You might even get away with asking. It's a proper price to pay for the potential of our reunion arriving much sooner than I anticipated.
[She never didn't have full faith...but certainty certainly helps, doesn't it?]
[ And... hm. She shifts around and leans towards Cantarella, head settling on her shoulder. Her excuse is that they're both tired and sleepy, and also... why not. There's no work to be done, nothing to worry about for the time being. ]
I must admit I'm somewhat disappointed that I cannot solve the problem of transportation all on my own.
No such gladness for me, hm? [Playful.] But that's how I thought you'd feel about having things solved under your nose.
[She missed an opportunity to dig into a mystery; of course, she'd be disappointed. Ever preferring to do things her own way, this Sage.
Cantarella lifts her head a little, giving Y'shtola a cradle for her head to rest. Tired, isn't she? Well, it's impossible to resist the urge to be caring. She tucks up around her again, the gesture casual and warm. It comes rather easily since they're both in peak cozy position. Gentle physical affection comes naturally to Cantarella; it's just how she acts with people at her most her.]
Use it as the basis of your own studies. You might even be able to improve upon it, given that we don't know what we will receive.
[ An ear brushes up against Cantarella’s cheek, the fur soft.
As Cantarella adjusts around her, Y’shtola lets out a soft sigh. This feels nice, warm. ]
You bring up a good point. Mayhap I will create something more convenient.
[ If what they’re given is complicated, that is. Part of her hopes that it is, simply so she can work to improve it. But if it’s not… well. It’ll be nice, seeing everyone easily. ]
Otherwise, I shall use it as a base for my studies regarding transportation to other reflections.
Hm? [She hums her curiosity, though her voice has become softer and more melodic, as calm as it is curious. Such a nice moment.] I'd like to hear about that work and how it differs. A reflection must be quite distinct from a star.
[Cantarella reaches around for the book in Y'shtola's lap, fingers splayed across the gutter and prepared to be the one taking it away from her this time. She doesn't snatch it up just yet in case Y'shtola insists on continuing her reading. Though, she could always be read to... She speaks very close to her fluffy ear.]
For now, don't you think it's time to rest? [It's a nice moment she'd like to preserve for a while...but here's someone who's certainly earned the respite.]

However… Cantarella certainly has. ]
