I'm asking you that because I am very curious about that place. So did you by any chance meet a guy named Niles while you were there?
It is a rather fantastical place, generally speaking. If I’d not been there myself, I’d be skeptical of its existence.
As for Niles, we never spoke, but I was aware of him and observed his conduct with others—as I’m sure he observed with me as well. His loyalty to his lord is beyond reproach, although his volatile nature makes him unstable and easily provoked if one knows the subjects he is sensitive to.
That said, he has incredible talent and applies his potential well overall. His network extends rather far in his world, if word of mouth is to be believed, and he allows his determination to see him through nearly any task he commits himself to. We kept a watchful distance from one another, but I would say Niles is a victim of his realm’s society more than any other facet of his life. Leo chose wisely in selecting him as a servant to the throne, however corrupt it may be as an icon to the people itself.
