In My Father's House [MM5]
Aydi did some groceries shopping in the market and went back home to restock his father's provisions. Aydi had been accompanying him throughout, and now shot forth toward the house.

Re: In My Father's House [MM5]
The house is once again in disarray, papers scattered, some crumpled, as his father works furiously at his desk. Aydi, the befurred, rushes off to sniff something by the door.

"What are you working on, alab? Are you hungry? I've brought some fresh produce. I have figs." Aydi sighed and put down the basket to start collecting things from the floor so that they don't get destroyed out of dog's excitement. He took a glance what the papers were about.

To his surprise, Aydi seemed to know what this was about. At least to some extent. His father had taught him well.

Re: In My Father's House [MM5]
The older man had just grunted at human Aydi's question as he stayed focused on whatever notes he was working on. He seemed to alternate between reading and writing.
As he gathered and looked over the scraps of paper on the floor a few things stood out. It definitely seemed that his father was researching something regarding the Seal... perhaps some new or altered formulation of it? It did seem to perhaps have some relation to Influence magic, there were similarities to what Aydi himself knew, but that didn't seem quite right. Perhaps it was a similar school of thought?
One that caught his eye seemed less about the specific research and a note that must have been made during it though now clearly crumpled and discarded.
The mention of the University library also stands out as strange to Aydi. The destruction of the University in Medinaat al-Salaam predated his father's birth so it seemed unlikely to be a memory misplaced in time. Could he mean a University outside of the city? Or something else?

Aydi recognizes Altair's name as an early Qabalist, nearly a contemporary of Hakhim, who had a hand in the early versions of many of the common manipulations of the Seal especially those pertaining to Life and Death.Altair's variation? But the angle of conjunction seems wrong? Misremembering or just different? Need to review the scrolls in the University library.

Something clicked. There was a lot to process, but for now Aydi focused on a single thought, like a hound on an odour. "When shall we get back to the library, alab? Altair's works might be referenced there."

"Daft as you are horny, eh boy." He lifts up a scroll, "Already there and back."
He shakes his head, muttering under his breath, as he goes back to work.
The canine Aydi whines for a moment as if the one chastised before he returns to sniffing the muck covered shoes by the door.

Aydi's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment anger flared in him over his father's recklessness. Before he said anything, however, he reflected on the inability of one person to live the life of another, no matter how closely bound. And one thing was certain; Ayfat's mind could hardly be changed on anything.
"May I help, alab?" He asked quietly while comforting the dog having taken the shoes outside to dry off so that the muck could flake off by itself.

A long sigh, "This is beyond you boy. But, sure, sit... just no barking."
