#42 – Talk
For roughly two hours she went on about the structure of the Triet ruins, how the architecture there was detailed in thirty or so of the books she owned, how she wanted to return to Balacrut and write a book about it because it had been one of her favorite spots; his reply was a simple "Interesting."
