"Who was that who just left?" He asked quickly, his eyes catching a figure walking away earlier. And shrugged not expecting a straight answer. He plopped his diminutive figure down in a chair of the second desk. And opened up the book.

Power surged through the room, the fringes of a powerful spell being cast only a few feet above their heads.
The Lord of Bainbridge was at work.
Emma smiled, affection in her eyes as she glanced upwards. "I think that answers your question."

"Oh yeah I'd nickname him, but I don't think he'd like it much," He hid a grin with all his might."Ah well, so do you have any modern books here by the way?" He asked, before becoming distracted by the contents of the pages.

"Yeah no kidding I hate Twilight; it's horrible!" He shuddered,"Harry Potter's cool, but I read it a million times." He was lost in thought of all the school girls he had to hear chatter about Twilight. What torture.

"I prefer more classical works, but you will find a few modern volumes."

Farskon put Moby d**k back in it's shelf, and found Insomnia by Stephen King."I like modern works, because it makes me feel more at home," He sighed."No matter how odd that sounds to you."

"Oh cool I'm glad ya understand auntie," The paladin smiled, and began reading. He put a hand to his chin, and recalled the name Chaucer."Isn't he the bloke who, like, wrote the The Canterbury Tales?"

"The very same." Emma replied with a wistful smile. "Centuries afterwards and they still ring true. Have you read them?"

"Well to be honest, I didn't really start reading books until after my life took a traumatic turn," He replied, and shook his head."No I didn't read it, I think they talked about it once in my literature class, but I snoozed it off."
