He might be off in a ditch somewhere drinking away his sorrows for a week or two and risk ending up dead in a gutter, or he might have taken a boat out of Freeport. He went missing once before and it was years before he sailed back into port begging to be readmitted to the Athenaeum. So I would not suggest waiting for him. I would in fact, suggest putting him out of your mind entirely. I am afraid you are right about Egil as well. He does not appreciate the primal connections of the Uraqi pantheon, he is wedded to the ideals of the lords of light in the Khemti pantheon with its maat principles and so forth and it blinds him to greater truths. The young can be so unprofessional. For instance, he sees funereal offerings from the Khemti perspective, to sustain the dead in the afterlife as their due. The Uraqi ritual offerings of food are to sustain the dead as well, but simply to sate their hungers in the dry dusty lands of the dead so they do not return to feast upon the living. He does not see the rituals as means to tempt the dead with rewards for information or as propitiations to stave off the dead, but as duties in and of themselves." He shakes his head "A puppy dog scholar who needs to be put on a short leash and kept busy lest he disrupt true work." He lets out an aggrieved sigh before returning his attention to Wilbur and Hinjo. "If you have a specific interest I could recommend some titles for you to peruse, Egil will not be a benefit in that regards.."</blockquote>
