Ah, a fellow mediator! Then, Jin Zixuan, do meet Elidibus, who has been a diplomat and mediator for well over ten thousand years. Not as if he would admit here that he is anyone but Ardbert, so long as he can avoid the harpy's keen insight to lies. At least he does mentally acknowledge the mortal's ability to keep his cool, for all the signs of increased smugness might tell of abundant pride.
Crossing his arms may seem like a defensive gesture. Elidibus seeks to appear in a more 'settled' manner. It would be hard for him to gesture for spellcraft without being extremely obvious about it now. And with his arms not loose, it may appear he wouldn't be able to reach his physical weapon as quickly.
"It would not be difficult for me to be ignorant as you say. I have yet to be here a moon after all," the man responds easily. Yes, play upon the harpy's sense of superiority by the suggestion he would not have the experience Zixuan does.
"And are you too one of the Mirrorbound? Or mayhap a native?" For Elidibus really is new here and the world (or rather worlds; he's very well-traveled) he has known have so much variety of mortal creatures with cultures and traits and ethnicities. It is difficult to tell. And it does interest him to know. Time will be given for Zixuan to answer before the man continues.
"I notice that a great deal of concern is toward the Circle's... lax attitude when approaching matters of the Cwyld. Would you enlighten me on the philosophy of your approach? It seems to lack any sense of precautions in the pursuit of further study." So many people becoming infected. It certainly seems a very slapdash form of 'intellectual study'.
