Woo.
Man. Had several days there with no writing at all. Gah. However, managed to write more than the daily minimum today, so that's something. Yay.
Shtaa opened one eye and looked up at Grevastie. She flicked her tongue at him, then closed her eye again. Kalishk finished writing something and looked up at Grevastie. "Chancellor Grevastie," he said coolly, "what a ... surprise. What can I do for you?"
"I'm doing a little research, and would appreciate it if you had one of your assistants bring these books up to my chambers." He handed over a small square of parchment. Kalishk took it in one pale, thin hand, and raised an eyebrow as he read it.
"I'm afraid that's impossible," he said with a hint of a smile. "These are all books which are not permitted to leave this floor of the library."
"But I am the Chancellor!" Grevastie said with a 'just us boys' conspiratorial smile. "Surely you don't expect me to let them come to any harm."
"No. But I do expect you to abide by the rules. You are more than welcome to come here during regular library hours and read any of these here." He handed the list back.
Grevastie's back stiffened, and Jaspa glanced around the room to see how the other students were reacting. At least one of them had not noticed at all, but others were watching covertly the way she was. She caught the eye of one of Kalishk's assistants and they exchanged "what in the hell!" expressions. Nobody dared challenge Kalishk, but the air in the room felt electric.
This could get interesting, Myertek said.
Depends on how stupid Grevastie is.
