“A bit!” Ky nodded again, smiling. “It’s absolutely fantastic! I’m enjoying it very much, sir.”

"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
“Mostly folktales, sir. I’m quite enjoying learning about your lore up here.”

He tilted his head at that, raising an eyebrow. "That's some truly fascinating stuff," he said. "We've got a lot of history tied up in those stories."

“Oh?” Ky asked curiously, hoping the raised eyebrow wasn’t a bad sign. Emery said she could.

He nodded. "I have a special love for those stories; it's one of the areas I spend the most time in that library."

Oh. Good. She wasn’t in trouble. At least not as long as she remained very, very careful not to damage them in any way. “Any recommendations, sir?”

"The Tale of the Marrow Man, most certainly. Stone Mother, if you want to have a late night of staring out the window in terror." He thought for a moment. "The three brothers is a good one. And any troll stories you can find are interesting. Oh, and the tale of Ljos and Myrka."

“Those sound interesting,” Ky mused, nodding. “I’ll keep an eye out for them.”

"Excellent. I can recommend specific books if you want to read more about the Northern Realm's myths, or I can find you some excellent folktales from other courses. I have some from off-continent as well."

( ;-; I lied about it but it’s getting gimpy and can no longer hide it so idk how the rest of these fucking sites are going to go. I did it at the very first site, lied about it, went super slow on the second site but it was getting sorer, and then on the third my coworker fell in so I had to climb out to help her and it was very very muddy and took me an embarrassing amount of time to get out and now it’s very, very sore)
“I’d love any recommendations you have, sir.” She smiled. “It’s nice to read for pleasure… been a while.”

He returned the smile with a very small one. "You should most definitely try out Tales from the Late Tribal Period. The translator is one of the very best."

“I’ll be sure to take a look.” She dipped her head. “Thank you… what’s the original language, if I can ask?”

(A little bell rings every time he smiles and the tally goes up)
"Nortung. It's what Upper Tongue evolved from. The tribes in the Far North speak it." He paused. "The original language tells the stories more eloquently, I believe, but for those who don't read or speak it I recommend the translator of that book--Hilde Tyrsdottir."
