Alex wasn't entirely sure whether he wanted the old man to stay with him or leave with his master.
He considered all of his options as closely as possible.
"The main reason I would want senior to stay with me is because I need him to help change how the third mountain functions. I don't know how far along he has come, or how much longer it would take, which is mostly why I would want him around."
"But at the same time, I understand how selfish it is of me to keep senior here when I don't even know how long I'm going to stay here. It could be decades before I get the chance to leave here, in which case, you would be correct, master. I would not have the time to help him with anything, and he would be alone here."
Bladedance thought for a moment. "Do you think it is important that the mountain change how it acts?" she asked.
