"That would be wonderful." Rickard smiled. "I've considered asking Sera, actually, but she's frequently busy."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
“I bet she likes comics,” Pratik said, but he smiled and nodded. “But I definitely do! So this will work out swimmingly.”

“I’d guess so,” Pratik said with a nod, glancing around. “Why?”

"I was curious. It's an empty sort of quiet right now; I'd thought more of them would have returned."

Pratik nodded. “Yeah… I’m sure they’ve got a lot on their minds beyond the library right now. Probably aren’t too hard pressed to return.”

"It would probably be the most dangerous place in the Keep with all these shelves," he mused. "I can't imagine the cleanup afterward."

“Oh, gosh.” Pratik scoffed and looked around. “I would not envy them.”

"Lord Ash would have a fit, wouldn't he? He loves these books."

“I mean, it’d hardly be the librarians’ fault if the gods threw his books on the floor,” Pratik said. “He couldn’t blame them.”

"He seems like a man one ought not to say no to," he mused. "Do you suppose he fears the gods as much as we do?"

“Mm…” Pratik thought for a moment. “I think he’s planning to go have a face-to-face with them. So. Probably not.”
But, then, Pratik had been planning on going along too, if the timing with Ada didn’t mess things up. So what did that say about him?

His eyes widened. "How in the world does he plan to do that? Are they waking up so soon?"
