"Sounds very, very easy," Emery chuckled. "Apparently there's more training than I'd have expected. Years."

"I bet." He grinned. "Right up your alley, eh? We have a few Tale Masters here, I think."

“I want to meet them.” Ky smiled. “Follow them around and bug them with stupid questions.”

"Well they're in the library somewhere," Tristan pointed out. "What color are their robes again?"

(*goes to check*)

(Haha yeah I have no memory — I wanna say red but I also feel like that’s wrong lol)

“Uh… they’re… uh…” Ky flushed. She should know this. Ingrid had just told her. But she didn’t remember. Because she was an idiot. Gods she wasn’t even trying at all these days. She’d have remembered it for Aleth. “I’m sorry, I don’t remember. Sorry.”

(Black with silver trim)

"Black with silver trim," Sara supplied, looking up toward the second and third levels of the library. "None up there..."

(Do you remember who is red? Lol)

Ky was still embarrassed that she didn’t know that, and drilled it into her head again and again and again so that she’d remember. She offered a small self-depreciating smile. “I’m sure there’s plenty of time to harass them in the future if there are none around now. It’s okay.”

(On the same page it says fiction is red. I'm gonna have to write all this down so I remember cuz I'll never know if I don't)

"Certainly." She nodded. "And I'm sure they'll be glad to talk to you! Have you met Talemaster Yra yet? I think you'd like her."

(Ahh okay so I’m not crazy stories are red xD)

“No ma’am.” Ky shook her head, mentally kicking herself for the slip up. She’d been doing so good before today. And now look at her.

(Yeah it's just the Talemasters are a special division)

"Oh, you absolutely must! I'll introduce you to her myself later, if you like."
"I full agree; you'd love Yra." Sera nodded.

(Totally valid!)

Ky smiled shyly. “I’d like that, if you don’t mind.”

Ky smiled a bit bigger. “Is there a particular focus area she studies?”

"Well, stories, to start," Sara said. "But she specializes in folktales of the Northern Realm."
