Sir you are not fooling anyone. Well at least, not fooling Elidibus. Though one just needs to look closely at the Ascian to understand that he's not immune to the world's strain on the Voidtreckers. He's just balancing his resources better than most. Or better at hiding the fatigue.
Probably both.
"This world is not likely to give much back," Elidibus remarks when it comes to restoring personal reserves. "Though it is fortunate the sali are not so reluctant to offer aid." At least, working toward solutions that will lessen the overall strain and being willing to teach.
There is a pause as Elidibus collects his thoughts to answer Wangji's question. "Some theories, yes. From my own observations, I can say the world has been against outsiders for a long time. Whether it has always been or some catastrophic event occurred far in its past, I can't say. There is a sense of... a fractured state, perhaps." Inwardly there is a mild sense of frustration. To only be able to find so little is something Elidibus hasn't had to deal with in a very, very long time.
"Yet I have never encountered a world where the very flow of aether works against outside forces to such an extent. I would not be surprised to find this world has its own Will." The man speaks as thought worlds having wills is a natural possibility, like a planet having a large sea or a breathable atmosphere. "...Yet as alien as the aether is, I can't yet be certain. And the priorities of the mission have taken precedence." They are here to do something relatively more superficial than repairing a world after all.
