Colle finds Inric in the records room, books spread out over the table as usual.
"Oh, Inric, I wanted to ask," she says. He looks up. "You showed me the room with the stored food. Is there anywhere else food might be stored?"
"Not that I know of. Why?"
"Well, it might be nice to have a change from grain and beans," Colle says, but Inric's expression suggests he doesn't understand the problem. Colle glances down at his books and recoils in shock. "Whatever happened to these books?" Gingerly she reaches out to touch the chewed and torn cover of the book nearest her.
"The first training session did not go as I anticipated," Inric says.
