random fgo snippet -- jiang ziya/taigong wang and arjuna
“So this is where the Awarded Hero was! And here I was thinking my hunch to check Novum Chaldea’s library was a fluke.”
As though prompted by Jiang Ziya’s declaration, Arjuna’s gaze lifted from the book he had been perusing, eyebrows slightly pinched. “...Were you looking for me?”
Undeterred by the short, bemused answer, Jiang Ziya simply maintained his usual smile as he paused at the table Arjuna sat at, one hand gliding over the top of the chair across from the Pandavan prince. “You could say I was, Prince,” the former Duke of Qi replied, tone remaining light. “Is it that much of a surprise that someone would seek you out like this? I hear King David does much the same with you, after all.”
Perhaps he shouldn’t have brought that up so casually, but Arjuna’s lack of hostility at the remark was promising to observe. “...I suppose,” was all he replied with, after an audible pause. Clearly not missing Jiang Ziya’s silent gesture with the chair, Arjuna went on with evident carefulness in his words, “...You’re welcome to sit in that chair if you wish. I only ask that you abstain from disturbing anyone else in the library.”
