[There were a million ways that this was so backwards and so contrary to what he expected that for the moment Waver was at a loss for words. He wanted to say something about having worked at this for longer than the boy had been alive-- but, somehow, that felt like a bad idea.

I was ordered to live by someone far greater than any of the gods or Pthumerians of this world, and I have no plans on disappointing him.
You don't need to worry. I plan to stay here for a while.
Good. There's people who need a good teacher. ... Just try to be easier on yourself. No matter what your past is, it doesn't really matter here. So you have room to breathe.
[Knowing that someone welcomed his assistance took some of the uneasy edge off of his heart. He would set up a time to discuss details soon enough. The boy's health came first.]
[They wanted more from him, he's sure of it. But to go into detail would both be to relive it and to disturb someone else without a good reason.]
I was almost gone. But I'm recovering now. I think I momstly have everything I need, but if you come across an interesting book on sea life or oceans in general I'd appreciate it if you could bring it to me. I can pay you back.
I mean I was interested in it before, but if I can figure out anything about the sea life here it might be a clue somehow. I don't know, but it's worth a shot.

[Somehow, it seemed as if that circle had one more person added to it with just this simple conversation. Waver was impressed.]
Perhaps, if you'd like, we can help each other on that. Along with any tutoring you'd need.

Yes. I could use a tutor for some things. As long as I'm stuck in bed, I'm stuck just using notes to catch up with.

... Not lucky, I guess. There's no such thing as luck. But people got to me just in time.
no subject
[No, he didn't want to know. That was to horrid to contemplate.]
There's no such thing as luck or coincidence in any world. If they had wanted you dead, they surely would have done so.
I'm glad you're safe now.
Please, let me know if there's anything you'd like to have brought to you.

I'll keep my eyes open for a book about the ocean. We're all squid here, so there's bound to be plenty of them.

I'll send you a few books soon. Hopefully they'll help keep you from getting too stir-crazy while you're held up.

... I appreciate it. I've been going through books at an alarming rate when I'm not sleeping.
