There may be a price to pay. But nothing truly worked for is free of cost. And Elidibus has proven he'll stand in the place meant for another's sacrifice. He won't allow for a hint of a reminder of this to show, out of respect and a desire to help Lahabrea. Even if the Emissary were to know that it isn't a simple matter of obtaining another host if this body were to die, he'd likely still persist.
"I shall," Elidibus agrees. Conditions are... acceptable. Some sort of trust has to exist from both ends for this to work. Where there's trust, there is safety. Where safety is, there's room for a little more effort. The rest is a race to save Lahabrea with this method before the feral state becomes irreversible.
He waits and then, Lahabrea doesn't need Elidibus to turn away to secure the stash. He infers where it is and trusts the Emissary not to do anything foolish. Which he will follow, though the books on Lahabrea shelves docontain a few volumes he has not gotten ahold of himself. If he finishes his own material brought along in the satchel, he'll just have to ask the Speaker to pass him an interesting book.
As long as there are cushions aplenty, Elidibus will not bring another with him. And before he approaches, he'll shed himself of his boots and socks, leaving only pants and shirt and bare feet. Once the cage is unlocked, the Ascian enters with care and great heed given to the danger zone of books and chest. The door is closed, the lock redone. The satchel was given a place to rest. Its contents can wait for a bit. He did, after all, set himself to a task after entry.
A cushion is chosen for him to sprawl into. Elidibus has been watching the mortals of late, seeking signs of bonding behavior that was not overly.... improper in tone. A great deal of this has consisted of various ways in which one sprawls over or against the other Bonded. It seems safe enough to try to encourage a form of it. Though the Emissary does start by reaching out (and up) with his hand. "There is something new I wish to try if you'll allow."
If Lahabrea would accept the hand, he will be encouraged to settle almost touching Elidibus.
