DONE
I did it! I finished!
OK, the story itself isn't actually quite done - it's about 100 words shy. I will probably write that tomorrow. Huzzah. I did the last 3k or so today. Go me.
It was really hard writing Talianna's funeral, oddly enough. Maybe it was because I was at a writein, which is a festive atmosphere, and the funeral was really sad. Oh, well.
One evening, Ayla, Terron, and Claric approached Evran at his desk He ignored them until he finished the line he was copying, then said "what?"
"We want to ask you something, if you're not too busy."
"All right." He set down his pen. Shtaa, who was draped across the top of the desk, looked up at them. "Go ahead."
"We think you should consider opening an actual school here. There are so many books, and you're a good teacher." Ayla looked nervous but was steeling herself to speak.
"I'm no teacher. I'm a librarian."
"Well, yes, but you give good advice. Maybe we could persuade one of lady Talianna's friends to come and teach more formally."
Evran felt his face harden. "Only if they live somewhere else. Nobody lives in the tower but me."
