It occurred to Elidibus that by 'study', the statue may have wanted to study rather than be studied at its work. But interrupting to ask for clarification didn't hold as much value as waiting and learning what he could by watching the task. The statue didn't seem to mind.

And given the reaction of this world's aether, any hint on how to work with it would be priceless. Even now the ambient air seemed to tug at the Ascian's senses. Easily ignored thanks to his vessel and the SCA but not completely disregarded.

As for patience, Elidibus can wait a mere handful of minutes. He is no youth in the spring of life, but an immortal who has dedicated more than twelve thousand years toward the task of restoring his world.

Even if he learns nothing immediately though, it is worth finding out what the statue ends up doing with that energy.
