*Maggie looks at the book uncertainly, then back at Melliandra* . . . what way is that? *she asks cautiously*

I could take you to my time... *Melliandra says, maintaining eye contact with Maggie* to a place where there are men and women whose job is to train others in this sort of thing... courtesans, nobles, royalty... people for whom sex is a profession, or merely a passtime, or people who, like you, merely want to be better lovers for someone they love deeply.
They could demonstrate anything you wanted to know about sex and probably a good deal more. I can show you these things in the book, but to truly understand them, you'd do well to see them in person.
I realize what I'm offering may seem shocking to you. *Melliandra says, and she rests her hand Maggie's* But I want you to consider it very carefully. This is a chance for you to step outside the confines that your world has placed on you. I can teach you a thousand times more with their help than I ever could sitting here in the library. And I promise you, you would be totally safe in my care. No one would so much as touch you without your consent.
The choice is completely yours, Maggie.

*Maggies eyes go wide. Her face goes bright red. She opens her mouth to try to say something . . . then closes it. Opens it, then closes it again.*

*Melliandra rises from her seat, touching Maggie on the shoulder fondly* I'll give you some time alone to think about it.
*she gives Maggie's shoulder a squeeze, and then slips past her toward the main room*
** Exit Melliandra to Main Room 702 **

*Maggie just nods, and watches her go. Once Melli's left, she lets out a long slow breath and puts a hand to her forhead. This has all been a lot to take in*
*She rests her other hand on the book in front of her and presses her lips together, thinking*

*After a long while, Maggie rises from her chair. She debates bringing the book with her, but then opts to put it back on the shelf for now. That done, she crosses the room to the hallway toward the main room*
**Exit Maggie to Main, 702**

Malazar fades into the Brink's Library wearing his wind and time scarred travelling outfit of greys and blacks and heavy leather and canvas. On his face is the visage of a snarling wolf and his long black hair is tied into a tail that hangs down his back. He looks around and sighs, removing the mask and storing it in his jacket.
"Well well, never thought I'd see this place again. Thought it was done with me... I wonder how long it has been."
He runs his fingers along the bindings of the books on one shelf, pausing momentarily as he recognizes a title here and there.
"So much knowledge, and so little to be seen by the eyes of men. An infinite numbers of truths and yet none at all."
He grins and rolls his eyes at his own hamishness. He plucks one of the volume from the shelves and sits down at a nearby table to read.

Feeling thirsty Malazar picks up his book and walks towards the main room.
**Exit Malazar to Main, 749**

Fading into a not so unfamiliar spot below shelves off books, Clare appears a little rough around the edges. Her eyes heavy and dark around the edges from lack of sleep. Ink splotches in an array of browns and blacks marring her face, arms, and hands.. in an almost dairy cow like pattern. Her glasses sitting in a crocked fashion as she rubs her eyes, not having bothered with taking them off.

Peeling herself from the floor, Clare winced slightly as an worn leather book binding excoriated itself from her forearm. Having left a defined imprint of runes and knot work in it's absence. Hugging the book close, she drew a long breath and began a slow retreat from the library.

Malazar fades in at one of the tables with a sheath of paperwork in hand. He looks bored and seems to be going over them sheerly out of habit. He glances around the Brink and sighs.
"At least its quite now."

After setting down his reports Malazar stands and begins to look through the Brink's wide selection of reading material. He had an idea, but wasn't really ready to put it into motion. First thing's first, was the research.

Selections in hand, Mal enters the isolation room and shuts the door behind him.
EDIT: Hours later he walks out and wanders into the main room.
((Triple posting was bad enough, I didn't think I'd make it a quadruple.)) sweatdrop

**Enter Luana and Cross from Main Room 791**
Luana walked in and looked around. She had forgotten just how many books were really in this place. She turned to Cross. "Where do you think we should start?"
