As each member of Orion's club visited, Edgar entertained some of them courteously in the lavish main hall, its high ceiling and elaborate decorations adding to the weight of their conversations.
He repeated the same gentle explanation to each, marveling inwardly at how much Orion had inspired these talented youths.
When the last of them departed, Edgar stood alone in the expansive hall, contemplating thoughtfully. Each had responded not with disappointment, but rather with renewed resolve, inspired by Orion's supposed intensive training.
Edgar felt quite amused and also proud. Orion had unknowingly set off a ripple of motivation through his peers, fostering growth even in his absence without moving a muscle.
Returning to his duties, Edgar mentally noted each visitor's name and words, determined to inform Orion of their heartfelt intentions once he wakes up.
For now, he could only hope the young master would wake up soon after his evolution.
