To the other side is Tiero, who had had the chance to return to his home but decided to stay and work with the bookwyrm kits. And Magistra Colle herself, who had been very happy at the suggestion of a collaboration, and help to prevent a war in Eynvard. Inric stares at them as they approach his table. "Is something wrong?" Colle asks. "Please let us help!" Mina says, her face worried. Inric ducks his head, already embarrassed with himself. "You already have," he murmurs. "Sorry?" Mina leans forward, and behind her the rest of the crowd move in closer. "Shall we tidy the papers?" Ylva offers. "That would be helpful," Inric says. "Yes. Please."
