"Before. I meant before you fall," Elidibus corrects himself. Should Lahabrea start to fall, he wants to catch him before he's out of reach. "But of course I do not fully understand. I have read many books. I have spoken to others of these changes. But none of them would know it as you do now." As an Ascian becoming a 'beast'. Nor would any of them have an inkling of comprehending the horror of it to Lahabrea.

Except perhaps another Unsundered. Elidibus truly wishes to know more, but also to be someone to whom Lahabrea can speak more than the fragment he just professed.

"At the end of the day, should the feral side manifest Lahabrea, no steel will hold a dragon's rage. And the bars are too far apart for your smallest form. Where I stand in this room will make no difference." So in a way, he should not have come in at all. Yet, Elidibus had, knowing how fragile the illusion of the cage and security was.

Elidibus shows no sign of mockery. Steadfast, he picks up his satchel. But... not to leave.

"I desire to remain if you would allow. And given the conditions, perhaps it would be best to spend the time practicing the best means of physical contact. Would you please secure your hoard and make room for me?" He will, of course, turn around should Lahabrea give in to the idea that Elidibus means to stay. Naturally, he'll be bringing his food and drink and probably books along.
