They had very good reasons to be wary. [Like the whole content of their treasury. Which was something Eari has been entirely uninterested in. He just wanted one book.] Oh, I didn't have to. I sent them a letter and they let me in.

[His whole postures seems to collapse on itself at the suggestion. A shiver passing through him. Like an echo of distant pain. His voice is barely above the noise when speaks.]

I wish I had the courage.
