Closed [The Library] The Aura Of Astronomy

[Giansar]

34th Day of Summer 2013
Gian simply stopped and gazed up, down, ahead, behind--anywhere and everywhere. Volumes of volumes, he thought, a twinge of a smile quirking one corner of his mouth up. Awed, the young man's blue eyes swept once more over the massive shelves, seeking some sort...guide? He frowned, words escaping him. A sign! That was it. He needed to know where to find the books on 8auristics.

There were others in the library, of course, rustling books and papers and pens, occasionally whispering. A little uncertainly the young man made his way over to a desk, where several others--students? professors? neither?--were busily working their ways through several books. They, he reasoned, would likely know where each section was, to have found so many books on a topic they wanted.

"Excuse me." He thought about tapping one on the shoulder, but refrained. One looked over at him. "Where...where ca I find the magic studies? The auristics?" He was directed first with a general wave, seeming to indicate half of the library. Seeing his confusion, the other showed him where he might find more on auristics. Beginning auristics, he hoped. He knew little.

Thanking the scholar, Gian made his way over to the indicated area. The bookshelves towered above him: overwhelmed, he picked one off the shelf almost at random and turned it to see the title.

[Tsaba]

Tsaba, at her usual table near the Auristics section and half-obscured by piles of books and notes, carefully traced out a focus glyph on parchment. She was working on her theory that she could learn to draw effective focus glyphs by exploiting the commonalities of glyphs drawn by different people, but as she checked more and more examples, it was becoming clear that the glyphs had less in common than she had originally thought. It was somewhat puzzling. She put the final touches on her example and sat carefully back, allowing the ink to dry. Only then did she glance about the room, and her eyes alighted on the stranger who was staring at the shelves, looking somewhat lost. The library, she knew, could be very confusing for newcomers. She'd been in his position not that long ago, and she had had experience with the Sahovan library. Yes, he was probably new. He had the look about him that she'd seen in some of the people on the docks. She watched him for a few moments, then carefully closed the open reference books around her and stood up. Tsaba walked up behind the man. "Excuse me," she said clearly, "Do you need help finding something?"
