Three Bells: [WRITTEN] - New Horizons in Lit Appreciation

They have everything Shakespeare ever wrote in the library. Everything! It's a fountain of gold. I could spend days here. I'd sleep here if they'd let me. I don't think I've ever been happier. And there's no theatre group here? None? Do people here not realize what they have? What kind of a world is this?

In case anyone asks, I'll be in the library for the rest of my life.

[Or really just the rest of the day. At some point he'll have to come up for air and grab something to eat at the 7th Heaven, where he'll be buried in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It'll be dark before he goes home, carrying only a single book.]

[He gives her a curious look.] How?

I suppose the Malnosso send us books, the same way other items from home appear. Every time someone from a new world arrives more books do as well.

I'm glad they do. I find myself very suddenly with a lot of time on my hands. How have you been?

Very well. The library keep me busy, too.

Then I look forward to seeing you more often. I'll have to come back a lot if I'm going to read all these books.

[He's being facetious.]

Oh, good luck then. I've been trying my best, but I'm only part of the way through so far.

[...she took it seriously.]

[As a result, she gets this look.]

[and he gets this look back]

...Did I say something odd?

No! Nothing. [He cannot imagine actually attempting to read all these books.]

[and she can't imagine why anyone would find it odd. She made it through most of the castle library after all.] All right, then.
