“Yes, and then it will be just as nice to luxuriate in your thousands of books, knowing in your heart that each one has been accounted for, and that even if you lived a hundred lifetimes you'd never be able to read them all." She looked over to him, her ruse falling away. "I wish to catalog them so we can open the library to all of Aveyon, actually." He paused to study her. "Truly?" "Truly." She hated that her plans surprised him, but she hated how much it bothered her even more. "If you'll excuse me, I have to see to some things." She left him standing there in the courtyard, dumbfounded, and it gave her a small bit of pleasure.”
