Gazing upon the Matriarch at the time for a short moment, Nirael bowed his head to her words. She was wiser than most people he had come to know, and he had to agree that there had to be something to keep him moving. Primal was something that could not be learned from books so he kept moving, rather than getting caught up in a library on a pursuit of knowledge without ground of people he wanted to learn<strong>for.</strong>The primal powers were<em>for someone</em>, as much as they were<em>for Nirael himself.</em>Learning the arts meant coming closer to others, to pursue their company. He had sought many a wild waltz in primal passions with people he had no intent to stay with, but finding someone to care for, and someone to fight for, was a driving force in him now. He had come a fair way for Lunari's sake, and found himself coming to like others around her in this place as well.<br/><br/><strong>"Your words echo true in my mind, so I have no doubt at all that you are correct about the matter. I will hope to find a way, and primal magic has kept me from being locked up in a library in mere pursuit of knowledge for the sake of knowledge. It had made me reach out to find about people and the primal currents within. It has lead to many guilty pleasures, but also shown me to learn more about people I could genuinely care for."</strong>He smiled to her warmly, the kiss on the lips had left him to shiver a moment but gazing upon her face he reached up to caress her cheek and pursue a soft kiss from her lips by his own initiative, brief as it might be.<br/><br/><strong>"I shall stand with the village in all things to come. Right now, I believe I have some things on my mind that keep me from trying to learn more still, but I shall return to you in the time we have, and seek to learn more of you, both in a conversation, and if the intent is not rebuked, in things beyond."</strong>He bowed slightly, then moving to leave her presence, at least for the night.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">While Nirael is a pleasure-loving person, he has a cause for worry with the artefact's behaviour and wants to carry on the rest of the plans for the evening before getting a bit of rest. He will seek her out if she isn't going to push him away later on, but he isn't following the kiss with more than a kiss of his own.</div></div>
