"Ah, here you are," Magistra Colle says, and Inric looks up from his books with a blink of surprise. "When will you be leaving?"
"What makes you say that?"
"This is the room where you research the worlds, isn't it?" She grins. "Did you find out what you need?"
"There is not much information about it," Inric says. "Except for the language description, which is impressively detailed, given that the filed claim was withdrawn." He flips through the pages of the book. Colle walks round the table to stand beside him, looking serious.
"Do you think you'll be away for long?"
"It is not my intention to be long away, but that does not mean I will not be. Would you prefer that I delay going?"
"No, it's not that. It's just..." she sighs, and looks away. "There are more and more people in the library."
