A Scholar's Life [Done]

[The Jenn]

Parzifal hadn't actually noticed Javaid's return, too engrossed in the picture to recognize the ticking footfalls of the canine. He jumped and spun around at the voice, blinking as his vision readjusted from the close examination of the miniscule painted text. "What? Oh, yes, I do. Very much so."

He would have left the wall and gone to sit back down if the canine hadn't come to join him. The smell of the tea wafting out of that cup would hit his nose soon and try to draw him in. "Fascinating," he murmured, eyes going back to the mural. "What time period do the paintings depict? I'm less familiar with Hisstor history. Which... is predictable, I suppose, since it's not widely known outside of the realm. My interests primarily lie around the era of the War of the Second Wall, hence my interest in the Hero. And that smells marvelous. What kind of tea is it?"

((Do you want to continue this one? My muse is kind of... softened for it. Alternately, would you like to summarize what happened and then have him return several years later with his young son as a way to revitalize it? Totally up to you.))

(Sounds good to me.<3 Javaid would be more than happy to see Parzifal again, especially with a little one in tow.<3)

After tea, Javaid will lead Parzifal down into the catacombs. They are, as Javaid assured, long and winding with many sudden turns that could easily disorient an inexperienced traveler. Javaid, however, knows the catacombs like the back of his hand and will easily lead Javaid down through corridor after corridor until, at long last, they reach the crypt Parzifel was searching for.

The archway leading into the crypt's resting place and the walls surrounding the single stone tomb are decorated with intricate Hisstor writing; tales of reverence of the Hero's doings and warding spells against those who would do his body harm in his eternal slumber. The tomb itself is equally decorated and many items lay around its base in honor of the fallen hero.

Javaid will recite an old Hisstor prayer and then stand aside so that Parzifal can enter. He will remain there the entire time Parzifal studies the crypt and he never takes his eyes off of the Scholar, but he is helpful in every way - answering any questions Parzifal asked. The only request Javaid will deny is one to remove an item from the crypt.

When Parzifal is satisfied, Javaid will lead him back out of the catacombs. He is a gracious host and will, of course, offer Parzifal tea or nourishment before the scholar departs.
