Coming to the library he threw open the double doors. Walking in it was a sight, shelves laid into the walls, shelves standing, all filled with books of sorts. Towards the center stood a tall shelf of scrolls of maps and tables near by stood at the ready to have them laid out. Chairs of comfort sat place around the room for a readers delight. In alcoves among the shelves stood portraits of previous family members and in the ceiling was the soul source of light from outside, a might stain glass window. "Well." he waved his hand infront of the room, "What you think?"

"I'm a little surprised. I thought you were an educated man, but I didn't know that it went to this extent. What languages do you have here?" The place looked very musty, but not in a scary sense. Except perhaps for the portraits of the strangers.

"All knowlege is worth knowing." he said smugly, "As for languages all sorts, some of your tongue, some of mine, some of the English, what amasses to writing from the Germanic tribes. Ancient Greek, and I'm sure there are some from the middle east, I have not had the chance to go through them all, but it is the pride of my family to see that with each generation this grows."

"I'm not sure how you would get books here, over half the population of Black Amber is illiterate. Wait! Sorry, I wasn't supposed to tell people about that...anyways, I should read some here." she kissed his cheek "Later."

"That does pose a problem, but luckly I gained a number while in travel when my estate was firmly planted in it's home soil." With a quick laugh as she kissed him and ran off. Turning to himself he spoke his thoughts aloud, "Can't read, that proves a problem, maybe I shall consult what magic users there are here and document what I see, that would be worth adding."

((I meant that she should read them later)) "It's too bad no one here can really tell the future, I'd pay dearly to see what it holds right now. You saying you wanted to document all this made me wonder."

(Well you made what he said work.) "Always in motion is the future, what we see one day will be different the next. We can only predict the most likely course and be willing to make changes when required, but then there are creatures of vastness beyond all human comprehension that would know." Shakingly he turned to her, "Do not, wish for such, your sanity and soul will no longer be yours to make a deal with such blighted creatures." Sighing as his mind relaxed, "Yes, it would be good, I was told once that no one has spell books despite the usefulness they would be, I think I could document them."

The most she had ever had was educated guesses made when people walked with her. It occured to her that Morgan might have some spell books or more of the things that he would be interested in, but she didn't want to mention her name just yet. That reminded her, "Quin I probably shouldn't walk with you anymore."

"Why not? I can''t really see much harm from it, well there is always the potential of the Shoggoth escaping. That wouldn''t be too nice, but then at least it would be in the dream world." His eyes lit up, "I could be gone from it," but quickly darken, "but I can not for that would have me force it upon another."

"It's just that, well, it would be too tempting for me to ask you more personel questions and then not have you remeber them the next day. Before all this, I used that plane to tell you I loved you. I thought it would help me forget if I just said it and then moved on." hugging him gently "Didn't much work. And your demon couldn't escape there."

"Well don't you have the on off switch deal where people can remeber things, but if you feel it is for the best, then I have no problem with it." Kissing the tip of her nose, "Seems I don't know as much as I would like about this dream world, perhaps there are more then one, but in this one I think the worse it can do it give me nightmares which I can live with."

"Well, in that plan other's dreams appear in what would be the sky. A couple times throughout the years people's nightmares have come down and attacked me, or I've gotten the wrong person to walk with, but it's on average a safer place than the waking plane." she grinned when he kissed her nose, and leaned in for a better one.

"Interesting, the myth I've been studying is not like that. It is an entire world of imagining. Such as the fable land of Ulthar where it is illegal to kill a cat. It is also said to be the land of gods from bygone ages that watched over man." A stray thought cought him, "You know, I have not seen a single cat in this clan, usually it's hard to go any where without seeing one, but they aren't here, or at least out of sight."

"Well, here I hesitate, but sometimes I feel as though if I actually moved around there I could discover more. I've spent my entire life just in the same spot, but it would be a very frightening thing for me, Maybe the people you talk of have actually gone further." she withdrew from the half kiss when she heard the cat comment "There once was a dog here..."

"Interesting, now we have a walk through the gardens that beckons to us." Offering his arm to her, "But in relation to animals I've always wanted a cat, would be nice to find one. I have the perfect name and everything."
