Ariel looks up from the piles of books that make a veritable fortress around him. Can's these people see he's very busy right now. He has much to learn about this world and its apparent powers. He's of the mind to tell off his interrupter when he notices his pathetic attempt to reach what must be his desired text. His next thought is why this person has turned to him, considering that his height isn't that much better. That's one thing his change had never brought with it, any improvement to his physical stature.

All that said, admitting that there is something beyond his capable has long been a hard pill for Ariel to swallow. If this person truly believes he can be of service, he needs to make sure not to prove that faith false. There has to be some way he can manage this task.

"You certainly picked the most difficult one, didn't you?"
