"Hah, you're getting quite the workout with all this sitting and standing." Ignis picked on the human as they trailed behind the archmage.
"Hardly, unless someone asks me to put on an improvised stage play, I can do this all day." Viridis shot back, tucking his book back into its satchel and twirling his cane a few times in a showy fashion. "Besides, I just may have to get back into the habit of doing that if we'll be staying here long. Then again, I should probably be blending in instead of standing out..."
While the two of them mulled it over, Viridis took careful note of each room and description they were fed information on as they were toured through the castle. Much as the library excited him, Viridis hung a moment on the aquarium and greenhouse, tempted to turn back and have a long look at the creatures and plant life of this world. Pragmatism, and a bit of impatience on Ignis' part kept his footsteps in line behind the Archmage till they reached the corridor dividing the kitchens from someone's room across the way. Yet more locations for him to remember, and though he planned to try his best and map out the floorplan he had seen already, it was the names he fixated on most. People were not his strong suit, but he was making a full effort to get better at making sure to make a good impression and actually remember things about specific individuals.
"Oh, that's a useful feature, thank you." He reached out and took the stone, considering where he ought to keep it for lack of pockets, before simply dropping it into the opening of his left elbow-high glove quickly. "I might need to ask you about something that can help with information that's written down, but for now there's no real reason to rush. It might be a good idea for Ignis and I to just learn whatever dialect and writing is most commonly used. Now, you wanted me to meet with someone first, this.. Ushia person?"
