Eldrian didn't understand why he had such a hard part in accepting that souls existed. If he could accept magic, why couldn't he just accept souls too? He didn't know, but for some reason he just couldn't. Likely due to how magic felt more concrete, he could actually see its effects and use it himself. The soul instead was still a completely foreign concept to him.
Eldrian mulled on this until the others started to wake and he had to go down to join them for breakfast. As he joined them and had breakfast, he stayed in his mental space not even realizing that they were the first to arrive at the keep. He only started coming out of his reflection by the time all the others had arrived.
