Mhairi blushed fiercely as she tucked a few strands of loose auburn hair behind her ear. "Thank you…" she murmured to the young templar recruit that had helped her pick up the books she had dropped when a spider had suddenly dangled down in front of her.
"I did not realize the young Enchanter Trevelyan was startled so easily by a mere spider." The young man teased.
"I….um…I am not normally so startled…" Mhairi replied, trying desperately to keep from embarrassing herself further.
"Where are you headed?" The young recruit asked, curious about the reason the young enchanter had for carrying so many large tomes.
"The library, actually," Mhairi answered, "I need to return these tomes I was using for the research project the First Enchanter tasked me with.
"Allow me to accompany you, then, as I believe it would be best for you to not stumble with these old tomes again." The young man offered.
Mhairi nodded appreciatively, "Yes, the Tranquil in charge of the library would still scold me for damaging a book." she admitted softly, despite trying hard not to shudder at the thought of the tranquil.
Once in the library, the pair set the books down on the table the tranquil had indicated for books being returned before going their separate ways for the day.
