[Clef nodded, considering that. And his next question.]

"Very well. By what method could those of us who wish to learn come to find answers to all of our questions in a convenient form that we can learn from; for example a series of books that you could give us the names to that would make clear the information that we need and want to know while on this journey or a way to speak this directly to you at other times?"

[Is someone abusing his own long windedness to avoid a monkey's paw answer? Yes, yes he is.]

[He considered carefully, disappointed that that had failed, but not surprised. He thought about his time on the train, what they'd done so far, and the people here he knew and trusted. Thought about his talks with Nita about this place, how her sister spoke about the train. About Pilars and living worlds and sentient trains. He knew what next he should ask, though he was certain Nita would be asking a variant on the same question. Hopefully so would her sister. Between the three of them perhaps a full answer could be found. Because while he might hope to be handed the answer directly, he by no means expected it. He expected his question to be deflected.]

"Given that you have tasks you wish us to do, and the fact that we are living with and within you, it behooves us all to do our best to understand and aid one another. I have served the Pilar of my world before I came to Naut, and then I served his cause, which is very like your own in seeming. I wish to be of help to the worlds you wish me to help, as do others here. So if I truly have only one question remaining, it will be in essence for more questions, but also for ways to pass information to you as well. The question, specifically phrased though you are welcome to elaborate and or to add additional information so long as it is contextually clear, is this: how may we consistently have this level or greater discourse with you after this point so as to best communicate questions and desires in a reciprocal fashion?"

[He wasn't sure if the train would respond if he spoke again, but he was going to try.]

"There are those of us who could help produce the extra power you need if you can communicate with us more fort a short time to give us the specifications, or even just add a book to the library with them. Many of us are more than willing to help to facilitate not only the missions, but your functioning as well."
