It ain't his first rodeo, at least
"The Nexus has a library, huh?"
Roland Crane, a tall and stately man with a face no older than twenty but a disposition that betrays his young visage, halts his step in front of The Grand Library. True to its name, the newcomer stares at its grandiose facade with awe in his eyes, marveling at the architecture which feels both new yet familiar. He crosses his arms across his chest and tilts his head back until his eyes meet the light in the sky, gaze following the zenith of each rooftop and awning.
"I wonder if Evan's planning on making something like this in Evermore, one day..." He says, to no one in particular. A few days in and his heartstrings tug at him, though he tries not to give the feeling much sway over his day to day. The facts of the matter are clear: he is not in Evermore, not anymore, and he is alone. No matter how much he misses his new king, his friends, Roland must move forward. There is no other way.
"So," He exhales steadily. "Has anyone actually found any real answers in this place, or am I just...wasting time and all this is just for show?" He starts his trek up the stairs, and his boots seem heavier than he remembers.
"People keep talking about this place being a second chance, but what if I've already gotten mine?" Roland pauses, his usual steely determination faltering for just a moment. "What if I don't have anything else to do, third-time around? What then?"

He hums in thought.
"Say, the PINpoint sounds handy and all, but how will the people from the receiving end get my message if the device I'm sending it from only exists here?"

The Heretic has to admit it takes some getting used to.
"But it's a good idea to find your door first. After you do that, travel will be much easier for you, and you'll be able to come and go from the Nexus as you wish."

An amusing thought crosses his mind. If only the Nexus could sign the Declaration of Interdependence. We could share a lot of tech between our two kingdoms.
"Thanks for the all the help, you two." He eventually says, turning to them with a lighter mood than when he came into the library. "I guess we'd better get a PINpoint, huh? I can't miss your first day at rehearsal!"

skekGra's clearly excited. He likes the Nexus, since it's given him a place to rest and a place to experience the world outside Thra.
"We're gad to help you. We can point you in the direction of the vending machine, if you wish. It's not hard to find - it's near the center of the Plaza. We'll five you some coins so you can buy one."

"Sure, that sounds like a plan. Especially since I've got no coins on me. I'll...work on that." he grimaces slightly as he sets down some of the books his hands had been busying with during their talk.
"Lead the way. I'm gonna have to come back here to do some hard research on how to produce a proper theater show, though. The last thing I want to do is embarrass my new partners."
