It had become one of his go to things to relax when he felt antsy and uneasy - he'd go bother Idia. It was not something he had imagined he'd do prior to all of...this, but hey, when in a strange place, you learned to compensate however you could.

"Uh."

He nearly left, but saw the brooms bits floating, and approached them despite his instincts telling him that he'd be better off leaving.

"...huh."

Suddenly, a lot of things about Ortho's everything made sense.
