"wasn’t really paying attention.”
TRAVIS: I understand that.
MARISHA: Is there anyone who did? That wasn’t
hypothetical.
MATT: “Maybe. I apologize. I spend most of my days
reading.” He lifts the book.
MARISHA: What’s the book?
SAM: You read!
LIAM: Subtle, guys.
TALIESIN: We got a reader. While they’re doing
this, I’m going to saunter over to the card
player.
LIAM: Can I see what’s on the spine of that book
from where I am?
MATT: At a glance at it, it’s in Zemnian, which
you can read. The translation would come about to
The Rosed Embrace.
MARISHA: A romance novel.
MATT: Probably.
LAURA: Is Fabio on the cover?
LIAM: How’s your trashy novel? Is it a good one? No
judgement.
MATT: “It’s not trashy. It’s very tasteful.”
LIAM: Oh no, I’m fluent in Zemnian. I’ve read all
of his works.
MATT: “Have you?”
LIAM: Mutual fan.
MATT: “I didn’t realize there was another Samuel
fan in here. Which is your favorite?”
LIAM: I love the Farthing’s Embrace.
MATT: “I haven’t read that one.”
LIAM: It’s an early one. He actually did it under
a pseudonym. He did a whole series under that
pseudonym, short stories.
MATT: “What is it again?” He goes over and grabs a
piece of chalk in the back and starts, “It was–?”
LIAM: Farthing’s Embrace.
MATT: “Mein Gott, I did not know about this. I may
have to send out Zadash and see if we can find
"some of those books. Thank you.”
LIAM: You’re a big reader or just Samuel?
MATT: “Just recently Samuel. I read on occasion.
It depends on what you can find.”
LIAM: I read a lot, but all I’ve been able to find
in this town is that parchment place.
MATT: “The parchment place is good for trash. If
you’re looking for unique stuff, there’s a few
"places you can go.”
LIAM: Here in town?
MATT: “Here in town, yeah. If you’re having a hard
time finding a specific book, I would recommend
"going to Burnished Bibelots.”
LIAM: Burnished Bibelots. Which ward is that in?
MATT: “That is in the North Ward, just on the
outskirts of the main market street. It’s a bit of
"a cluttered mess, but Oglen would be happy to help
you.
LIAM: Oglen?
