Reinhard nodded slowly, understanding the strategy. "So you masked most of my points as coming from the dreams and attributed the rest to the expeditions I participated in?"
Klaus nodded as he leaned back in his chair, and his hand rested on his crow-headed cane. "This helped calm down a lot of people, as everyone understands how significant a creation story is. It's something the History Institution has been desperately seeking for decades, and getting one is worthy of exceptional reward."
Reinhard nodded again, as it was something he could easily accept. Then he moved toward the desk, his steps slow and almost dreamlike.
He stopped directly in front of the Elixir, staring at it with an expression that mixed disbelief, hope, and overwhelming emotion.
"I know I once asked you and Rosaria for help in getting this..." Reinhard's voice came out quiet, almost a whisper. "But I didn't think I would really get it so fast. Let alone that you would all actually help me so much."
