Silence. Nothing but silence answered his prayers as he knelt before his Goddess. It was nothing new, any prayers he's whispered on his journey as always gone unanswered, but he had hoped that she would make an exception just this one time in this holy place. As disappointment filled his hazy mind Arthur felt a hand rest on his shoulder and flinched in surprise as he was pulled from his thoughts. Looking up to see an old groundskeeper looking down at him with a concerned expression. A heavy frown came to Arthur's face from the man's words, letting them sink in as he slowly rose to his feet. A small sigh escaped him as he gave a slight nod, forcing a strained smile as he met the groundskeeper's eyes. "I will sir, thank you for your kind words," he thanked him before giving one last glance up to his Goddesses statue. His gaze hardened as the strange feeling in his chest stirred again. Shaking off the odd feeling and looking back to the groundskeeper, Arthur gave his farewells and made his way out of the temple grounds, the weight on his shoulders heavier than ever. Well, at least he tried. 

Not wanting to get too far behind in his investigation he cleared his head of any doubts and debated where his next destination should be. Soon he sensed two of his fellow Envoys nearby and looked towards the city's library. Two heads were better than one so adding a third head should make things easier, right? Wasting no time, he made his way to the library and would soon spot Liora speaking with two guards outside the library. He couldn't pick up the conversation, but he did catch a glimpse of Rean casting some type of spell that helped her rise from the ground to an open window in a building across from the library. It didn't take long for Arthur to piece things together and sighed, scratching his head as he started to think of what to do next. Glancing at Liora and the guards he figured he'd leave the talking bit of the plan to her, plus he didn't want to take the chance of making the soldiers suspicious of a new face joining the conversation. Looking back to Rean as she managed to make it up to the window and back to the walls surrounding the library he decided it was time to give his limbs a bit of a workout. 

Making sure to stay out of sight of the guards Arthur made his way to the alleyway between the library and the building Rean was in. He gave her a quick wave from below as he crept up to the side of the building and held up a finger to signal her to give him a second. Sizing up the wall of the building in front of him he rolled his shoulders, clenched and unclenched his fingers, and took a deep breath before running up to the wall and leaping up to begin scaling up towards her. Finding a path up the wall was easy work for Arthur, his time training his agility and nimbleness paying off as he made his way up to the window. "Greetings," he whispered with a slight smile to Rean, hanging from the wall next to the window. "Apologies for being late, but I'll try to find a way across from above. Maybe scope the place out to make sure it's clear," he said in a hushed tone before continuing his climb, doing his best to make as little noise as possible from his assent.
