That tired smile was something that Lord El-Melloi II recognized. He had it on his face many times before, and rather than remark upon it, he simply let it pass. It's how he would want it treated if the shoe was on the other foot. "She's got too much going on to think about that kind of stuff," he said with a little chuffed noise. God, Chaldea was lucky to have her. "Did....I take it she had some strong opinions when you told her?"
That was perhaps too prying, but Lord El-Melloi II couldn't help his curiosity.
"Nope!" Lord El-Melloi II declared, holding both of his hands up. "Don't tell me anything, I've decided that this is a road to insanity that I have zero desire to go down. Just...I'll live happily in ignorance on this particular topic."
Archaeology was so much saner than bullshit Nasuverse the other options.
It was the look on Roman's face that finally made him back off, and Lord El-Melloi II sighed. "Okay, okay," he said, defeated on the topic. But they were circling something else, and with all their discussion today, perhaps now was the right time to ask about it. "Roman, could I ask you something with regards to summoning Heroic Spirits here at Chaldea?"
