The door opens without his invitation, and Inric looks up to see a horde of people, preceded by Copper. The bookwyrm jumps up to the table, and Inric reaches out automatically to give him skritches. Beyond him are Mina and Jakin, who he had invited to stay because they wanted to read the books, and he remembers their delighted faces when he suggested it. Behind Mina, Brother Aldus is smiling, and Inric remembers his eagerness to come and study at the Library. And to the side, grinning cheerfully as usual, is Kelyn, who had been so excited to learn about magic in the Library workshop.
