Rhy laughs, shaking his head.

"No, no exchange necessary, my friend. I didn't mean to put you on the spot. It's just a token, to say thank you. It was a substantial ask on short notice. You did a wonderful job."

"Ah, I see, I appreciate it."

Istredd hasn't gotten many gifts in his life so even if this is a small one, it is new to him, thus why he wasn't entirely certain what to make of it at first. He holds the box close to his chest and wraps the ribbon around his wrist so he won't lose it.

"I think it is good that you do it, Rhy. I fear we are not as united as we probably should be, and this must go a long way to closing the gap."

Istredd has already expressed his concern to Lucifer that the Thorne Summoned are not as close as the other factions seem to be and that it's at a disadvantage when they're the ones being actively trapped by a monarchy. If this is a step in the direction of fixing it, great.

He nods, the smile not quite fading, but taking on a more somber quality. Perhaps a little sad.

"I hope so. We are all together in this, whether we like it or not. I just don't want anyone to feel... completely alone. Not if there's something I can do to help."

Istredd has spent much of his life feeling alone but it was by choice. He could have gone back to the mages or kept his connections from his time there to strengthen. Instead he chose to be an outsider and let his mind and life be taken up by his theories. It's strange to now be in a place where he doesn't want to follow that path again.

"I agree. It is important for us to try and connect more often. I feel as if other Summoned may have a better grasp on that instinct than we do."

From what Istredd has heard, they can be very close, and he still feels like Thorne is disconnected despite all living together. Even now they are having to watch their words though, which makes all of this harder.

"I admit it doesn't come easily to me."
