[ Jonathan is not one who would bet on fate. He is a man of science--despite how much the Church seems to be against such things--and a man of practicality. Aether, gravity, the way in which the body works. Those things are constants and never changing, unless some outside force changes such things. As is true for Aymeric, so it is true for him. An outside force caused them to change, to mold into a different sort of life. A voidsent, they call it. Yet, it is very different from most voidsents. They are not mindless beasts who feast endlessly on aether. They retain their sanity, their livelihoods, their very souls.
Yet, the needs of the many have always outweighed his own. He remains a healer, a doctor, no matter what or who changed him. Obligations to society are in order as well. While Aymeric had been of young when his parents had passed? Jonathan had agreed to continue to guide and watch over him as he aged into adulthood. He was proud to see that Aymeric had remained with the Temple Knights despite his own unfortunate change. While the young Elezen may not see it? He still holds a life to some degree. Aymeric serves as a Temple Knight, and Reid serves as a doctor to the voidsent... and to clear them for duty.
Which, it saddens him to say, is the reason why he has come to visit this evening.
Jonathan turns from the admiration of the books on the shelves once Aymeric finally joins them. Estinien makes himself comfortable against the wall, arms crossed, seemingly disinterested in it all. However, it is Estinien who has brought the news of their call to service, while Johnathan is simply there to make certain that Aymeric is still of sound mind to serve. ]
Ah, there you are, Aymeric. I take it that you have rested well for the day? [ A casual glance is sent to the dragoon as he scoffs slightly. He shakes his head before turning back to the Elezen with a smile. ] I hope it is not too much of an intrusion that your staff allowed us entrance while you were occupied elsewhere.
