Fulfilling one's duty, particularly so others can benefit from the results, is certainly something Elidibus can resonate with. And though this festival might be on a far less grand scale of his of last Great Work, he does not see it as any less important for Rue or the people they are working for the sake of.

So their conversation and walk will come to an end soon when Elidibus politely excuses himself. But certainly not before a few last words. Music will be pursued. And though it still feels to him as if it is a task to perform so he may better mesh with this world while seeing his plans to fruition (millennia of such behavior and paradigm are certainly not shed so easily in a festive afternoon), there is a flutter of excitement.

"Yes, I do have some time." It has a deeply profound meaning to Elidibus. Even racing with relative speed to get back to his beloved star, will there not be some time in comparison to before? If but for a moment.

He looks up to Rue. The slight turn of his lips in a smile seems genuine in its gratitude, for all it is measured with the restraint he's shown this far. "Thank you. I am grateful for your advice."

But it is near that end mentioned before. Where something might need Rue's more direct attention or Elidibus sees someone he might wish to approach; a certain older and taller figure with pale hair and a grumpy looking disposition may be in need of encouragement to try campball, for instance.

"I shall not keep you further, though I have found the conversation enjoyable." Here he pauses for just a moment, looking at Rue and nodding his head forward. "Perhaps we may speak again in a more casual setting."

Not that the festival is anything but casual. But he seems will aware that it is because of hands such as Rue's are at play behind the scenes. He'll not delay them further.
