Aren very slowly blinked, regaining consciousness from the sudden bout of nothing. “J-Jude?” Did it work? Did you talk to them?”

Well, he'd certainly talked to them. He just wasn't quite sure what to make of it, and he released Aren, taking a quick step back to get some much needed space.
"Yes," Jude said. "They told me some stuff. Gave me some... context about what you are and what's happening to you."

Aren was suddenly very giddy with what Jude had said. “Really?! Oh thats fantastic! What did they say? I can’t believe I’m finally gonna get answers!”

As giddy as Aren was, Jude was hesitant. None of the information he'd gotten was good, and Aren's enthusiasm...
He didn't get it. Aren didn't really understand what he was getting into.
"It's not good stuff," Jude said, trying to bring Aren down to a reasonable answer. "Getting answers are good, but... the answers themselves aren't."

Aren’s smile quickly faded when Jude said that the answers weren’t very good. “O-Oh. I-I’m sorry....I just thought.....” Aren shook his head a little. “Nevermind. What did you learn?”

He was excited for the answers. So, so excited. And while a part of Jude felt bad for crushing his hopes, better to not bring them down later.
"A lot of stuff," Jude said. "But some of it is going to hurt to hear. You should probably sit down."
Jude would wait for them to be sitting on a little bench before he began to explain, going piece by piece through what he'd learned.

Aren obeyed Jude and sat down onto one of the benches. With how Jude was acting Aren couldn’t even pretend to be hopeful now. Things were not going as good as he had hoped. Not one bit.
Once Jude explained what had happened Aren was dead quiet. He was carefully processing what he could even do in this situation. “Do you know who this Red King is? Like an identity behind this mysterious title?”

Jude shrugged. "Not someone from this world," Jude said. "From the other world. He was the previous Throne, which is what you are now. The implication he gave was that you knew who he was, or that you'd met somehow, or something like that."
Jude didn't like any of what he'd just said, and it showed on his face, the frown obvious.

“I see...did he give you a name or anything? If you said he was implying I knew him he had to give you a name.” Aren was digging through a well of past memories, trying to find any clue of who this person was. Every memory came up negative though sadly.
