So much insight was gained from speaking with Aclime. It was hard to imagine that he wasn't five hundred years old. He had experienced so much in comparison, and it wasn't even in his whole life time; it was only from that day he broke free of his stone imprisonment near this village. He accepted my offer to be a traveling partner, and even offered some words of wisdom. Perhaps he was right.. Maybe I didn't know what I was searching for since I wasn't ready to get it yet... That was quite the thought...
Silence filled the room as I asked my next question. He seemed to be thinking about it, and I took a few sips from my tea. My mind continued to drift back to what he had said not too long ago, but I quickly snapped back once Gekkido spoke again. He had so many things that did drive him, and one that stood out now. Was it that easy to change what drives you? Or perhaps it was everything that occurred between each one; Gekkido had, after all, been through a lot. It seemed it was finally his turn to ask a question of his own. One that I wasn't entirely prepared to answer or sure what the real answer was. I sat there in silence for a couple of seconds before speaking up."It's a mixture of things, I suppose. You were the third to take me in, but the first one to actually dedicate your own time to me. You took it upon yourself to train me; some random stranger roaming the lands. If you could bring it upon yourself to allow me entry and train me -- trust me--, why can't I at least give you the same respect and trust you."
Why I trusted him as much as I did, though, was something I couldn't answer. There was just something about him that made me feel as I could... There was some connection there, and like everything else, I had yet to quite figure out what it was. I had nothing else to say at the moment. So much had been spoken of in such little time, and while I was bombarded with thoughts of questions to ask Gekkido when he first returned, I couldn't really remember what I had been thinking. Maybe I wasn't meant to ask just yet. While I awaited in my silence, I picked up the cup of tea, and proceeded to finish drinking what I had left.
